How to create a budget that works

[ekta]

Creating a budget that works can be a game-changer. When I first tackled budgeting, I made it way too complicated and it was a nightmare. I have found it's much better to keep things simple. Start by tracking your spending for a month to see where your cash is going. I used a simple app to log everything-nothing fancy. Then, set realistic limits for different categories based on what you spend. Don't forget to include a little bit of fun stuff like grabbing coffee or catching a movie. Regularly check in and tweak your budget as needed. It's all about making sure it helps you mange your money without feeling like you're depriving yourself.

I don't create a budget, but I have a rough estimate of how much I can afford to spend every month. I seldom overspend unless there are some urgent needs such as medical or household repair expenses.
