Tips on Financial Planning Budgeting

By arlene | September 18, 2008

Budgeting means planning and controlling your money-spending in order to accommodate all your financial commitments.

Although you might have a sufficient budget in place, here are some tips on how to make your budget and your money work for you:

Start with writing down your income. That should include your salary, as well as child support, money earned from overtime work and any other income you receive regularly. Now you know how much money you have available.
List your most important financial responsibilities first: Money you pay towards rent, car repayment, food, water and electricity and clothing.
Save an amount of money each month for emergencies. Also remember that you need to pay an amount towards reducing your debt. It is also a good idea to save money for holidays and retirement (even if you have a pension fund). You need to show some self discipline. Don’t use this money for luxuries or skip a month’s savings — this could create future problems.
Only now can you start looking at luxuries such as entertainment and eating out. You can plan and spend the money that is left with the knowledge that all your responsibilities have been met and that you’ve made provision for unforeseen expenditure.

Remember, if you act in a financially responsible way, you will lead a stress-free life, while securing your future financial independence.
