3 Ways Budgeting Reduces Stress
Have you ever felt that you didn't have a handle of your money? Do you feel scared, or stressed, every month wondering what to pay and how much you can afford to spend?
How about we change that? One key to reducing money stress is to create a monthly budget.
You see what you have available to spend
Before we can dive into what our expenses for a month will be, we first need to count the income coming in. By seeing how take home pay (gross pay minus taxes) is available, we know what our starting point is.
Budgeting helps you plan what expenses will occur
Most people don't like surprises. Listing out what you anticipate for spending helps to eliminate these surprises.
Your budget is editable
Need to spend less on food halfway through the month? No problem, just change it. Want to increase your savings? Make the change. You have the ability to make changes throughout on your budget. Why? It's yours!
