Many people have neglected to manage personal finances, so that even if their income is sufficient to meet monthly needs, because there is no balance between income and expenses, serious problems will arise, such as debt etc. So how do you manage the right personal finances?

We need to have financial literacy. In my case I save 15% of my active salary. I bought insurances, I insured my properties and this week, I started my milk tea business thru franchising. It's good to save for the rainy days and old age preparations. Our health and income deteriorate when we're old.

One best way is to adjust our expenses, we have to live within our means and if possible live without means, LOL. Being thrifty is admirable and being extravagant is the downfall of our savings, thus we cannot inherit peaceful living when we're out of budget. It is hard to go back so while it does not happen yet, we have to cut unnecessary things , just a little sacrifice.

If you are familiar doing some basic accounting, then you can do balance sheet, income statement and the like. If you can do these things, then you can able to manage it.

In order to manage effective personal finances, one would need to engage the services of financial consultants who would be able to use his expertise on guiding one.

that is if you have a lot of money to hire their services. If you're someone who do not have a lot of money you need to do that by yourself.

I think it will be nice for people to have a budget that we can follow. It will be very helpful

I spend less than I earn; I save for emergencies; I save for retirements; I save for taking leisure trips; I invest my money to build wealth.
Totally agree with your point, spend less and earn more. Saving for emergencies is A MUST and saving for leisure is for sure we need it and Invest money for short and long time period are the best things to do. So, you did great so far, my friend

Following a budget is always important and necessary. People who do not follow budget always end up spending a lot of money unnecessarily.
It is very necessary to make a budget and also follow the budget. It may be very hard to follow the budget but it will be good to follow up

Indeed, stick to the budget is the only way to do now. Do not spend money for something that you want, only buy the things that we need. Its hard though but if we stick to the budget, we will get use with it and everything going well after that

I think some people still do not know how to make a budget because they tend to budget some things that are not necessary

Yes, people still do not understand the differences between what they need and what they want. This is basic things and a lot of people still cant see it clearly. We dont have to make budgeting like financial planner, at least we can divide our montly income into several purposes and stick to the plan, though
