3 REASONS WHY BUDGETING IS KEY.
Budgeting is not only done by firms or government, but should be one of the things taken into consideration by individuals as well.
Budgeting is planning and managing your finance, assigning task to your finance.
What budgeting helps you to achieve:
Firstly, it gives you an oversight over your finance, you know what you are working for.
Secondly, it makes you track your spending, you know what you are spending your money on.
Lastly, it makes you plan ahead.
Budgeting should be done in this format:
50/30/20.
50% of your income is allocated to your living essentials, such as rent, utilities, groceries, transport, etc.(include yours).
30% of your income is allocated to your lifestyle expenses such as dining out, shopping for clothes, accessories, etc (our lifestyle expenses varies, include yours).
20% of your income is allocated to the future: paying down debt, saving for retirement and for emergencies.
Yes, you saw that retirement, it's never too early, it's never too late. It is the best.
Your income should not only meet your today's need, but also your future need.
For instance your total income is N15000
50% ~ 15000×50/100 = 7500
30% ~ 15000×30/100 = 4500
20% ~ 15000×20/100 = 3000
It’s never been easier to manage money, thanks to a growing number of personal budgeting apps for smartphones that put day-to-day finances in the palm of your hand.
One thing we should all learn is that, it not just about how much we earn but how we manage our earnings.
Remember financial knowledge is Key, acquiring the knowledge is good applying the knowledge is the best.
