What advice can you give me about living on a budget?

Answer by  AvrilBey (474)

The most important thing when living with limited funds is moderation. Don't give up everything, weed out things you don't need, but keep a little bit for yourself and a little bit for rainy days. Also, do as much as you can, cook, do your own laundry, etc.

In order to live on a budget, one must keep track of all the money coming in and going out. The best way to do this is to write it down or to keep a spreadsheet. You must account for every bill and every bit of money spent on non-necessities.

The best advice anyone can give about a budget is to stick to it. Create a budget that you can live on without starving and still covers your bills. You also need to budget for some unexpected things like flat tires and sickness.

Make sure you pay the bills that have to pay every month before you do anything else. Shop at stores where can can get good deals, such as dollar stores or warehouse stores. Cutting out a lot of fast food and things like coffees to go will shave a ton of money off your budget.

Make a plan for your expenses & also maintain a budget chart. Try to use old items as much as possible & use recycle strategies. Don't waste money on unwanted or unnecessary items. Do your work own without taking any help from others. Eat home food only.
