My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income. ~Errol Flynn

You can have a monthly salary,weekly salary or even a daily one. The lesser the time , the more problematic it becomes with the budget.
Why budget?
Because budget gives you the necessary experience to be in the present and prepare for the future while learning from the past.
Sounds philosophical?
I guess it is ,but philosophy of something enthuses us, increases our appetite.
Budget has two columns for common man:

Budget has two columns for common man:
Income
|
expenditure
|
ah! hah!
|
oh!! oh!!
|
Three rows for responsible human:
Income
|
savings
|
expenditure
|
ok!
|
good!!
|
still in doubt!!
|
Four rows for financially aware human being:
Income
|
savings
|
investment
|
expenditure
|
it has come!
|
retain savings first!!
|
invest them in diversified assets
|
spent whatever is left!!!
|
See!!!
This is exactly in consonance with the tenets of Warren Buffet!!!
First save and spend the rest!!!
NOW WITH THE THIRD FORM OF BUDGET UNWELCOME WORDS LIKE
SPENDTHRIFT,FRUGAL,CHEAPSKATE COME INTO ACTION AND MAKE YOU FEEL
MISERABLE!!
But these should not deter you!! These are short term bitter pills to create the panacea for financial troubles.
Always remember,that people shall respect you when they come to know that you are a human being of reasonably good budget!!
People who are used to reckless spending, are actually in search of cheap popularity!!!
People depend on those who know how to balance and manage finance.
That is why the Indians, or people of Indian origin are so good at
savings!!! Most of them started with a middle class income but
believed in the power of budget and hence fiscal discipline!!
Read and think!! Everyday!! Add a little to your existing knowledge base!! That is one of
the great Mungerisms!!
For a matter of fact India remained virtually unhurt during the
great sub-prime crisis of the 2008!!! They did not go out of their
ways to spend on things that did not require immediate
gratification!!!
