Why you need a budget

A budget is giving orders to your money before it is spent. It is a tool for freedom.

Steps to create it

  1. Sum net income.
  2. List fixed expenses.
  3. Identify variable expenses.
  4. Subtract and assign the surplus to savings.

📊 Practical Example

Practical example

Income: €1,500. Fixed: €800. Variable: €400. Savings: €200. If you overspend on leisure, the budget tells you to cut back on food to stay on track.
