When the world economy was booming, business and families where in a spend spree and there was laxity in spending, corporate governance, regulatory surveillance and controls.

An un-attended checkbook can cause your budget spreadsheet to reflect money that you may not have. It will give others un-monitored access to your checkbook. There is no happy end to an un-attended checkbook. If you do not understand your spending habits, and control your financial picture by the means of a home budget or budget spreadsheet.

Personal/ Family budgets, or spending plans, are tools that can help you meet your financial goals. The process of building a budget can help you to take a hard look at your priorities and to determine whether you are on track to reaching your financial goals. A budget is a list of expenses and income. It is the amounts of money that currently comes in and out each month/year. It is also the projected in and out amounts of each month/year.
In times when everybody makes less and everything costs more, developing a family budget and committing to it is one of the best ways you can improve your financial situation and secure your family`s future. Knowing exactly how much income you have and how many expenses you have allows you to outline a road map that will help you reach your financial goals. What sort of financial goals can a family budget help you achieve? Getting out of debt, saving for retirement or for your children`s education, or saving for that vacation or boat are just a few of your options. No matter what your financial objectives, a good family budget will help you move toward them in an organized and controlled fashion.

But if you have a budget that tells you exactly how much you are supposed to spend, then you do not have an excuse to overspend, right? There are a number of reasons why we overspend, so when you understand what causes overspending, you are more conscious and can put a stop to overspending and keep your budget on track.
First, you must balance your checkbook. You can either use software, or pen and paper to accomplish this task. Now, if the concept of balancing a checkbook eludes you, just search the internet on how to balance your checkbook. And, as you balance your checkbook, you should pay particular attention to missed transactions, bad math, or any unexpected transactions. I remember that on one occasion I had recorded an unexpected deposit as a withdraw in my checkbook register. So, to my chagrin, my $150.00 deposit became on paper, a $300.00 withdraw.
