At the end of the year, do you ever say to yourself "where did all the money go?" Does it sometimes feel
like it's a constant flow of the income coming in and the bills going out and nothing much left in between?
Do household discussions over money seem to take too much of everyone's time? For many homeowners, time
spent in the development of a household budget may help to alleviate many of these problems. A comprehensive
budget will not only tell you where the money is going now, it can give you a road map to tightening
expenses, leaving more money available for goals you may want to establish, both short term and long term.
By developing a budget, and then following it as closely as possible, you will be taking the first steps
toward taking control of your experience of owning a home, rather than the home owning you.
-- Make it a household project--get everyone involved.
-- Find out where the money is going now first.
-- For lots of hints on saving money on your "new" budget
-- Determine your goals, both long term and short term, and calculate how much money you will need to achieve them.
-- Make every attempt to allocate funds to your goal categories.
-- Be realistic--if you are currently spending $400 a month on groceries, you probably are not going to be able to cut
that amount in half--but you may be able to save $25 to $50 per month with careful planning.
-- Don't give up. Developing--and living with--a budget takes time and patience. Don't get frustrated when you don't
achieve all your goals in the first 30 days!
