Budgeting isn't just for poor people or for times when money is tight or your life is undergoing a major transition. Budgeting is for everyone because it makes it easier to achieve financial goals of all shapes and sizes, whether that goal is to stay out of debt next month or to pay cash for a sports car.
Budgeting allows you to make long- and short-term projections about your financial situation, prevent crises, get the most out of your money, plan for major life changes and enjoy peace of mind.
Budgeting systems – ranging from a simple notepad and pen to online financial management software to smartphone apps – are available for all needs and preferences.
Budgeting monthly, rather than by the paycheck, can help you learn to take a longer-term view of your finances. Keep track of all your expenses, not just the big ones. There’s nothing wrong with buying a latte every day, but you should know how much you’re spending on them and make sure that you’re spending within your means.
Getting a basic sense of your financial picture is an important component of budgeting. Make sure you know how much you make after taxes and how your required and optional expenses fit into that picture.
Being flexible with your budget categories and allowing yourself affordable rewards will prevent budgeting from being a drag and help you stick with it.
A well-maintained budget can help you meet short-term goals, like saving for a vacation, as well as long-term goals, like saving for retirement.
Avoid budgeting mistakes like being so frugal it makes you miserable or letting a small mistake lead to bigger ones because you feel discouraged. If you do mess up, remember that you're only human. Forgive yourself, correct the mistake if possible and vow to do better going forward.
A budget should evolve as your circumstances change. Don't expect the budget you made at 25 to still work for you at 35 or even 27. Your income and expenses will change over time, often annually. For example, if you get a raise, you'll want to adjust your budget to reflect how you want to spend or save the extra money.
A budget is a great tool not only for managing your money but for helping you sleep soundly at night. With a well-constructed and well-maintained budget, you’ll always know where your money is going, if you're on track to meet your financial goals and that you've planned to weather the storms that will arise from time to time.
If your spending is too high for your income, a budget serves as a pesky but necessary reminder that you need to change things – and the sooner you listen to those irksome numbers, the better off you'll be. Living paycheck to paycheck only works temporarily; sooner or later you will have an expense you can't meet or a goal you can't achieve if you don't learn how to budget.
Once your spending is within your means, your budget will help you meet long-term goals like pursuing your low-paying dream job or retiring by 65.
