Financial experts keep on lecturing us about the importance of budgeting. Fair enough, without budgeting we can be financially lost. We may earn money but nothing can be seen from us that can attest to our financial gains. If you really want to budget your money – no matter how small or how big it is, follow these budgeting tips: * Set your priority. Know what is more important and spend your money on it.

Once you get your money, your top priority should be the housing, bills, and food. These things will have to be paid no matter how long you postpone your payment. It is better to pay them right away while you still have the money. * Stick to your basic needs. Now is not the right time to spend on things that don’t really matter. Before you go shopping, create a list of all that you need. Stick to that list so you won’t be tempted to buy other things. · Pay all your bills on time. This is to avoid paying late payment charges. When you have bills in huge amount, pay them first.

At least you don’t have to worry about huge debts. All the other smaller bills can be paid once all the big ones are already paid. * Don’t spend more than 75% of your income. Leave the rest as savings which can be used when the need arises. · When shopping, go for the discounted items. You will still get the same quality as the other products but definitely on a lower price. Also most shops schedule a particular day for their sales. Wait for this day before you shop. * Give your credit card a rest. It is hard to budget your money if you have a lot of debts to pay for. Credit card can be very tempting. Knowing that you won’t be paying for the items in a month or so can tempt you to buy things that you don’t really need. * Keep a record of all your expenses. This will help you keep track of where your money goes. With regular use, budgeting can become a habit. Budgeting can be pretty hard for the first timers but over time, you will get used to it. Budgeting should not be neglected even if you get a pay rise. You should continue to budget your money to ensure that you are able to save.

Always read your monthly statements – It’s important to stay up-to-date with the information your lender and your debt settlement company send you.Budget your money – You’re going to have to make sure you have your monthly payments set aside every month in order to make a serious payment. One thing that’s important to be aware of is that if your payments to your debt settlement company are late, and if you can’t deal with these debts, your lender isn’t going to want to work with you.

This could cause increased late fees, increased interest rates and continued poor credit. In order to properly budget your money, you’ve got to set aside money every month to go towards your bills. That means making sure your bills get paid before you go and buy a new shirt, movie tickets or ice cream. It’s hard to budget initially, because it can go against your nature and requires a great deal of discipline. Here are some budgeting pointers that will help you with debt management (tips that your debt settlement company will want you to follow):Give yourself about 3-4 months to get your budget going.

Trying to become disciplined in a week is a bad idea, you’ll most likely fail and give up. Give it some time. Spend every dime on paper before the month begins. That means laying out where money should go before the first of the month. Over-fund your groceries category. Food always costs more than you think it will. If you’re married or living with someone, budget together. Shared accounts means shared responsibilities, and if one of you gets evicted, you both will.

Although most wedding budget planners seem to cover every possible element of your day, there are several hidden costs that you will need to add in. These include things like legal fees, insurance and smaller costs such as tips, donations and gifts, all of which can soon add up to a significant portion of your overall budget. As you progress with your wedding planning you may well find that you have an ever growing list of ‘extras’ some which may include: Church/religious donation: some venues may ask for a donation whilst others may just imply that one would be gratefully received.

Ask politely what they amount they consider as a donation if you are in any doubt. As a guide $100-$150 is typical. Reception venues: some public buildings such as halls or huts or private venues such as barns, fields or gardens, may not charge you hire costs. But you may feel that giving some kind of donation would be appropriate. As a guide $50-$100. Car parking: if you manage to get permission for wedding guests to park their cars in private car parks or those belonging to a public building – offices, schools etc, then a donation to that building is usual. Budget around $50. Bridesmaids gifts: these maybe on your budget planner already. But if they are not then you will need to factor them in. These gifts do not need to be very extravagant most bride’s will give simple jewelry, books or a wristwatch. Budget $20-$30 per bridesmaid. Best man gift: again this might be on your planner already. Most couple’s choose something such as cufflinks to give as a best man present.
