Your goal is to not blow the budget
Your knowing and ability to NOT have a budget blowout will be dependent on you knowing how you will pay the bill/s. With cash or credit. Which will it be? Can you and do you know about transferring money? And finally, do you have a chequing account? You know, the one where you run your life on a day-to-day basis?
Even though the concept sounds very boring and not very exciting also, your knowing what a budget is, coupled with your ability to create and keep one is very important! And the reason is so that your life goes from boring and uninteresting to yee hah! Simply because, you what a budget is, how to create one and how to manage one.
I have started this post by discussing how a budget can be managed and maintained. And also by addressing some questions for you to answer. So, for the first one: cash, do you carry any? When you have access to at all times, some cash, you are taking control and care of your own life. And you can build on this. Taking control of your life means that you can control yourself and do not need to BLOW all of the money that comes your way, meaning that you know and are ABLE to take care of yourself, if and when you need to.
Credit, got that? I personally love this one, because it gives me a sense of KNOWING that I am ABLE to be cautious about how much I spend and where, and providing that I pay the bill on time, I will always have good credit.
Transfer to who? I love this one also. With the evolution of the internet, such as you reading this post, and should you decide to enroll in my program on budgeting, your money can be transferred just like that to me. Easy! And it is private and secure!
And speaking of a budget, what about an everyday account. You know, the one that you need for when you need a good feed for both you and your family! Plus all of the other expenses required to know and be able to live. So, you see when you KNOW what to do, when, why, and how, having a budget blowout will not happen. Instead, you are ABLE to have some cash to carry, credit to use, for WHEN you need to TRANSFER some money to a man or woman, and you can cheque in and buy your groceries and cheque out and KNOW that you will not have to go without.
What are you waiting for?
