How to Budget Your Money
A budget is a plan for your future income and spending. The problem is that a lot of people tend to spend more than they can afford and get themselves into debt. The key to spending within your means is to know your expenses and to spend less than you get.
Create a healthy budget for your family or yourself following these simple steps.
1. Add Up Your Income
First try to understand how much income you have. Remember your sources of income, make sure you include them all. Calculate the total figure.
2. Add Up Your Expenses
During a month write down carefully how much money you spend on different things. People usually have expenses which change from month to month and those which do not. For instance, flexible expenses are the money you pay for food and entertainment and fixed expenses are what you pay for renting a house or a flat. Keep a record of your expenses for three months and take a three-months average for your total.
3. Calculate the Difference
When you’ve totalled up your monthly income and your monthly expenses, calculate the difference between them. A positive number shows that you’re spending less than you earn or get (well done!) A negative number indicates that your expenses are greater than your income. (Economize on your expenses to begin living within your means.)
You’ve created a budget. Now don’t forget to compare it with what actually happens to your money. Try to follow your budget successfully.
B. Speak about your expenses.
• What do you usually spend your money on?
• Does your pocket money cover your expenses?
• What else would you like to spend your money on?
• Do you think you often waste money?
• Do you sometimes save money? What for?
• How easy is it for you to give up the idea of buying something if you can’t afford it?
• Do you think it is a good idea to have a monthly allowance? How big should it be? Why do you think parents prefer to give pocket money to their kids instead of allowances?
• Have you ever thought of taking a job? In what way can it be a problem for a pupil?
