If you have extra money left over each month then that is a good problem to have. I would encourage you to look back over your expenses and make sure that you are using realistic numbers. If you have a budget based on realistic expenses, then have you begun to put money aside in an emergency fund? Retirement? Saving for your children\u2019s education? There is a long list of things that you can always be putting your surplus money towards. Doing so ensures that you become financially stable and secure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Negative Cash Flow<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have a negative amount of money then tough decisions are ahead. If you are in the red then you have two choices \u2013 you can increase your income or decrease your expenses. Unfortunately, your ability to increase your income is most likely limited. Therefore, look to your expenses. Some of the most common money pits for people are food and entertainment. Look to see if you are eating out too much. Or maybe you\u2019re going to see too many movies? (It\u2019s insane what it costs to go see a non-matinee movie nowadays!) Start chipping away at your expenses until you have a positive cash flow each month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The \u201cBalanced\u201d Budget<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nThe core of this blog post is to have a \u201cbalanced\u201d budget. That term has a couple different meanings. First, we want your budget to be balanced in the sense that we want your income to be greater than your expenses. We hope you will have a positive cash flow.<\/p>\n<p>Also, we want your budget to be balanced in the sense that <em>you shouldn\u2019t cut everything out of your budget that isn\u2019t a necessity<\/em>. Instead, you need to go to the movies every once in a while. It\u2019s important that you go out to dinner. Your kids should be involved with athletics. Your budget is going to mirror your lifestyle. You can have a huge cash flow each month but if you are miserable because you don\u2019t have any extracurricular activities then you will quickly burnout and abandon your budget. In other words, <strong>have a life<\/strong>! On the other hand, if you plan for these extracurricular events but ensure that you do so within your budget then you are more likely to lead a more balanced life, which will greatly increase your chances of following your budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Step #3: Create a Balanced Budget So far we have discussed the importance of getting accurate information for determining your income by reviewing at least the last several months of paystubs and we have discussed the incredibly important task of getting a \u201cfinancially honest\u201d expense report.
