What is a budget A budget is a place where you can put how much money you can spend per expense
A budget is a template or format or grid,etc for which you list out all of your non changing expenses and your allowed monthly payments that wont make you go broke.
Make sure when you put in the amount of money you will spend per expense and the calculation of all the expense result in to a negative number means you will go in debt so the budget will help you not have that happen
The importance of a balanced budget is not to make money managing more difficult it is there so you don't go broke. If you see a negative number in your final calculations you are going to go in debt you are spending to much and in your final calculations you see a positive number you need to add some money to your most needed expenses like housing or utilities
Why is it important to have a balanced budget?
It is important to have a balanced budget because you need to know where your money is going and how much of it you are spending because you want the end total to be 0 and that happens by not putting in the wanted amount per expense but the executable amount like $75 for wants but $600 for housing
