The budget system provides a comprehensive picture of operations. At the same sales, purchases, costs and expenses are budgeted up to the potential future profits.

Personal Budget

The common question we ask is ¿what use is a personal budget? A budget is a plan of what you earn and what you spend, which allows us to plan and adjust what and how you use our money. Keeping a budget helps you understand the cost of your lifestyle, reduce anxiety to meet your payments, control our money or control our costs, leverage resources at every stage of our lives.

We must take the following steps:

Define your goals and aspirations well
Determine our income, debts, expenses and savings
Calculate how much money you have left

In general, having a personal budget allows us to plan better use of our money and helps us to acquire the necessary to meet planned discipline. We must first identify inflows and outflows of money usually have or perform for a period of time. These revenues or expenses must generally classify items such as employment, investment, food, education, services, etc.

For example, we should note how we usually earn per month as a result of our work, when we usually earn per month as a result of our investment when we usually spend on food, how transportation, etc.
We identify all items that we generate income and expenses, trying to separate as much as we can and be as accurate as possible when estimating the usual money generated by each game.

Draft of our personal budget

Once we have estimated how much we usually have as income and expenses per month, we had to prepare the draft of our personal budget. To do this, simply we drew up a box where we include all items that we generate income and expenses, as well as the amounts that we expect to have in each of these items for the following months.
Once you have prepared the draft of our personal budget, we analyze it in depth, and make adjustments or changes as needed.

The first thing to do is look at the balance at the end of the budget, which is the amount resulting from the difference between total revenue and total budgeted expenditures. We must ensure that this is positive, and that is an appropriate amount.

Purpose of a Personal Budget

by Ryan Kendall

Responsible stewardship of our money begins with the preparation of a budget. Knowing how much money we have and knowing our level of expenditure is the first step we must take if we want to achieve financial independence. If we have to build a house, the first thing we do is to make a plan. A personal budget is a plan for our financial well-being. The purpose of a personal budget is to create good financial habits, our personal budget, is what will help us to avoid problems caused by not having a structured roadmap with our expenses.

Budget, daily or monthly

A daily budget is the one that helps us in cases where it costs to make ends meet. However, it is conceivable that this is the most difficult of budgets and monitoring their level and complexity is high. Normally, it is common for people to make a budget in monthly intervals, where we see balance expenditure and income in each month.

The importance of following the personal budget

The importance of drawing up a budget is that we have a picture of the financial times we have, but its control and monitoring is even more important. Nothing better than having a budget when it comes to expenses, so we can consult or be aware of how much we have.

A budget is that, a number of expenses and revenues that have assumed or projected before it occurs. Therefore, we must be able to adjust whatever is necessary if what you have planned is not correct and so your personal finances do not suffer consequences and cause you a headache.

Carrying out a personal budget is very significant from the point of view regarded as a company: with limited resources to make ends meet, liquidity resources and money is not a matter of science fiction movies. Your budget has to be the script of your film to lead to a happy ending and can be corrected in time.

The advantage

A very important advantage of having a personal budget is the discipline that we gain with respect to expenditure and compulsive shopping. It’s not about not spending, but to do so in a correct and controlled manner.

Lease or Buy a Car

by Kylee Sanders

If you have not decided between leasing or buying a car, we will show you the main differences between the two. This always depends on each particular person, because applications can be varied according to the needs we have, the type of work that each have and if this includes the use of the vehicle, the family, among other things. We present the differences between the two situations, so you can make the best decision.

Lease or Buy a Car

Lease a car

Generally, rent a car provides us with a new vehicle for a period of time agreed with the tenant. One advantage you have when renting a vehicle is normally equipped with new cars, plus the costs of renting a car can be less than paying a loan to buy a car.

Return the car or offer to buy it

By renting a car, we will use the vehicle, which must be returned once the lease ends, unless you want to buy the car and offer on it is made. Usually, the first monthly payment, a security deposit refund, taxes, records and some other charges is performed according to the lessee.

Rent payments

ill almost always be lower than loan payments because the amount paid for rent, is the value of depreciation of the car with respect to their market value, and the value of the rent. However, if you want to end the lease before the agreement, early termination fees can be very expensive.

Buy a car

To become owners of our cars, we are who we run with the maintenance as long as the vehicle is in our hands. To buy, we pay the full price or a down payment and then finance payments or loans we obtained in case of not having all the money himself when shopping.

Loan payments

We must also tackle taxes, registration and other fees. Loan payments usually are higher than the lease payments, as we will be paying the full purchase price of the vehicle, plus interest and other financial expenses, taxes and professional fees. If necessary, you can sell the car at the time you want. Even the money from the sale may serve to pay the balance of the loan obtained to purchase the car.

Now having this information you can choose between leasing or buying a car.

Save For Retirement

by Kylee Sanders

While having a 401K is an excellent way to save for retirement, there are other ways to save for your future as well. Find that peace of mind and ensure that you have the finances you need going into retirement by looking into these other ways of saving as well. With the average American spending nearly 20 years in retirement, making the investment before you get there is important in ensuring your stability and comfort.

Also make sure you understand how much taxes you may have to pay and when as well as budget for any other future expenses.

From investing in an IRA to simply just saving in a bank account, make sure you know your budget and write up a financial plan to understand how much you will actually end up with and how much you should put aside to reach your goals. Also make sure you understand how much taxes you may have to pay and when as well as budget for any other future expenses. While saving for retirement can get us closer to our dreams, if we do not plan accordingly, the financial constraints we may carry with us into retirement can take away from them. So try saving the most money when possible.

Ways to save the most money include those in which interest is gained as you put that money aside. 401K’s and IRAs accumulate money as the years go by so you end up with more than what you put in. Ask your employer about the benefits of contributing to a plan and if that does not suit you consider asking your employer about possibly pension plans. Also do research on your social security benefits and what you may receive by retirement but consider other savings to rest assured that you have the finances you need to survive.
To adequately save for retirement make sure you do not touch your savings. If you find yourself in a financial emergency, consider opening up a separate account for emergency situations rather than taking from those you use to save for the future. This can make all the difference when the time comes and you need the money most. While choosing to have a traditional 401K can prepare you for retirement, consider mixing other methods as well such as creating a savings account, investments and so much more.
