Stick to Your Budget!
Have you ever said to yourself, “What good does a budget do me, if I can’t stick to it?” If so, you are not alone. Many people find that developing a written spending and savings plan is a lot easier than actually following it. One of the reasons is that you often make spending decisions while you are in a store or restaurant—but your spending plan is back at home. Unless you have a photographic memory, you don’t know that you have exceeded your clothing (or food, or entertainment, etc.) allowance until it is too late.
The answer—take your budget with you!
