Failing to Plan IS Planning to Fail

Today I want to look at budgeting in a different way.  I know for me, when the word budget is brought up all I can think of is “BORING”.  I hate to budget.  I hate to have to sit through trying to figure out a budget that is actually going to work.  Do you feel the same way?  So, let’s look at it in a different way.

A Money Plan

Simply stated, budgeting is a money plan.  You are figuring out how you are going to spend your income for the month.  When I look at it as a spending plan, I get a little more excited about it.  If you think about it, failing to put a spending plan together is planning to fail.  Fail at overspending, spending on the wrong things, not saving any money, not paying down debt.

Your spending plan is your roadmap on how you are going to get from debt slave to debt free!

Don’t worry if you do not totally understand where I am going with all of this just yet.  Future posts will fill in the gaps.
