Budgeting & The Basics

Budgeting & The Basics: When I learned how to CORRECTLY budget my money, it was such as eye opener. I had no idea how money was suppose to work. I earned money and I spent the money I earned, it was that easy. It wasn't until I started wanting bigger things that I found myself without the money I needed. So I supplemented my income with credit cards. That worked for awhile until the many payments started to become overwhelming. A lot of us get into this trap, keep your budget simple I like to start new "Budgeters" with the 5- finger budget. Put your income into 5 categories, Housing, Debt, Giving, Saving, and Living. Make sure you allocate a percentage of your income into each category (which should total 100%) and over time you will see a big improvement in your financial picture.
