A budget needs to estimate your average (yearly) income. Spending, which will be relatively constant, needs to be maintained below that amount. A budget should allow for error and so keeping expenses 5% or 10% below the estimated income is a conservative approach. When done correctly, your budget should end any given year with about 5% of their income left over. Of course being conservative and having more than 5% is never a bad idea.

Keep your home budget or budget spreadsheet from floundering. Gain the benefits of understanding what your spending habits are. Please, do not forget that you are the first line of defense against misinformation! No one tries to drive their vehicle with their eyes closed because they know that they will soon disassemble their vehicle by the means of a tree. In the same sense, that is how it is for those who close their eyes to their home budget spreadsheet; soon they too have undone all of their dreams in life.

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.
