There's one thing I must clear up before I begin this article. Your budget is not a source of restriction. It's a powerful tool to give you the life you desire.
The term personal finance budgeting is not something that may your excitement level. Another term, personal finance planning, may also not be your cup of tea. I know for certain that I don't like those terms. Anything composed of more than 1 word has the capacity to overwhelm us.
However, it would a waste of time talking about whether it's a term that we enjoy or resent. What we must know is that we will benefit much more than if we were to completely disregard it.
Why is this true?
Because it us with important resources with which we can start to realistically create the life we all desire. Is there anyone who doesn't dream of debt-free lifestyle? You wouldn't be reading this sentence in this article right now if it wasn't the case.
So, how does one successfully build a life free of debt?
I will make this as least complicated as possible. Two simple words: Budget Budging. It's important that you never forget these 2 words because they will become a central part of your personal finance planning.
So what is budget budging?
It simply means that you take control of your budget rather than being controlled by it. The most important part of this is dictating your budget. If you are able to dictate your budget, then you can dictate your lifestyle. Simple as that.
The first thing that you should do is to set up a budget that's realistic for you and stick with it. Record all the money you spend to the last, in whatever form it may be eg cash, cheque or credit card.
By doing this, you know where your income is going. Once you know where your money is going, then you can easily proceed to creating an appropriate budget for you. Nonetheless, it is absolutely essential that your new budget still gives you a comfy lifestyle while it does the job of reducing your debt.
Eliminating waste should be the second thing you should do. You will soon discover, by evaluating all your expenses, that you are being wasteful with your money. It's important that you're ruthless during this process.
Sacrifices may have to be made during this process. One way to achieve this successfully is by asking yourself what is really essential. Honesty is the best policy here in order to know what you really need and what is really unnecessary.
People's ability to cut waste is dependent think short term or not. It's important to think of the long term gain instead of the short term pain to do this properly.
As with many other things in life, personal finance budgeting will seem a bit complicated and difficult to manage at first, but after creating a great budget for yourself, you will soon realise that it was well worth doing.
