It is best not to change the budget plan from time to time with the adjustments. Whatever money has been forecasted, we need to stick to it.

l usually allocate money on the proposed budget and l strictly don't add up any single cent apart from the exact amount set for the budget.
One thing I do is save my money in some particular bank accounts that I will not have access to until I get to the bank and it has really helped me a lot in sticking to my budget

That's a very great way for keeping track of your financial plans by stick
I try as much as I can to stick to the budget exactly but when genuine reasons spring up to shift grounds a little bit on the budget, I do.
For me l prefer spending less than what is on the budget. l usually frugalityof the higher standard

I do not go off the budget, if I have spent the entire budget for the spending category, I will hold until the next budget.

I use a few key strategies. First, I track my expenses to stay aware of where my money is going. Next, I prioritize needs over wants and make conscious spending decisions. I also set financial goals and remind myself of them regularly.

I spend for my needs and also indulge in my wants now and then. I actually do not budget but know when to put a stop.
Same here. I basically buy what I need, but occasionally reward myself by having fine dining or travel overseas to enjoy myself. I do not have a fixed budget, but I have a rough estimate of how much I can afford to spend.

Some of my strategies to keep sticking on the budget are;
- setting financial goals
- trying to prioritize needs over wants
- avoiding buying things on impulse
- monitoring and keeping track of purchases.
