Budgeting..

Author: Weill it’s coming up to that time of year again, where for a month I go through the exercise of tracking every cent we spend. It’s good to do this for a couple of months a year just to ge a handle on where your money is going!
The software I use to do our tracking http://www.mybudgetplanner.com/Â is great. It’s simple to use and once you get the hang of it, you can see where every cent is spent and you can also set yourself a budget and track your spending against the budget!
Doing this all the time is really painful, so I just pick a couple of months (usually the quieter months in the middle of the year) for a budgetary review.

I think that it is very important to budget all the time. I have always heard that we should keep a budget every month and try to keep up with it about once a week to make sure we are sticking to it.
For most people, if they don’t budget every month then they will get way off of their budget plan.
I always make a list of what i need every week and reserve some extra for unexpected expenses.Budgetting is the best way to control your money.
This is a great help for us to know if our expenses is going up each month it’ll give us option to look for cheaper brand or service, like for example our cable TV provider has a price increase on our subscription we may look for other option to stick to our budget. Or compare our electric or gas usage from previous month we’ll be able to see what’s causing these bills to get high and be cautious on the following months.
i think one should meet some expert for budget planning…
because budget is the thing which all you to take your future decision in some better way….
Budgeting is a hard stuff to do if we have big problems with the credits.. I have to try this one
Budgeting is apart of everything including business forecasting and expense monitoring for CPA firms. My CPA firm in Irvine is big on this and its how we help our CPA clients.
I’ve been keeping up with monthly expenses for years. Sometimes I get sick, looking over a month of spending too much money : )
Budgeting is tough, try to just stay so busy making money that you don’t have time to spend it. That is the key, oh, and having a good credit score;)
I think I need this software. Sometimes when I’m just in my room alone I’m wondering what I’ve spent and what did I get from it. This software will help me think about it.

Simplicity is the key to sticking to a budget. It doesn’t have to be hard, but people make it that way. A simple list of income and expenses is a good start. Then, decide how much you need to leave in your account to cover bills you need to write checks for each month. Take the rest out in cash. Then, manage the cash. The key here is to stay away from plastic.
