“How do YOU MANAGE your BUDGET in your daily life?"

Most of us have our own ways to budget things up. For me, I do budgeting on a weekly basis. We buy food in the public market every weekend. Since we wanted to have fresh veggies or meat for the whole week. I don't want to spend money which is not falling to the basic necessities of the family. It wasn't that difficult because I just give the allotted money to my mom and she knows how to deal with it. For other things, it is I who handle it. "Do you do spending plans?"

We try our best to make a budget and we think we have it and something happens.

I agree. We need to control this for not overspending.

@hillhjill I agree. If I am just living alone, then I don't need to monitor the budget plan for the family.

@Shavkat I completely understand that, I wish we had more income coming in but we make due with what we got.

That's a good plan. I am paid only once a month, so everything is taken care of at that time.

It is nice that you can handle it on a monthly basis. Is it?

@just4him I think humans can always adjust what things bestowed for them. I might also do the same thing in the future. For now, I must work hard for it.

I am getting in the mind set that not to worry as much about it, it is important to do so.

I agree. My family and I need to consider this. Since the country's economy is experiencing fluctuation of commodities. It is nice to see you again. It has been a long time. You seem busy, my dear friend.

I only buy what we need every week to prepare our meals. We do not spend a lot.

Same thing here. I am a new leaf in dealing with the basic needs of the family.

We do a lot of budgeting now that prices of goods and services are rising (always). We do a weekly grocery shopping and buying fresh produce in the wet market.

We are in the same situation. The family and I need to cooperate in budgeting the expenses. Our country is not that good I should say. Things are getting rough in finding money. That's the reason why I need to work two jobs.

@Sheali I hope you can try it. I had experienced this before. I enjoyed being solo in the house. I used to work in the capital.

I make list for things I need and paying all bills each time. And frugality with various things so that I have extra money for sudden important things. So far I also do not have a credit card so that I am not wasteful. I pay all my bills with a debit card.

We are in the same boat. I don't use a credit card, too. It is best to track expenses and spending money with the conventional way.

@redtesha I have a friend before. He maxed out everything using his credit card. The sad part, his mother is the one paying it. That's one of the disadvantages.

@Shavkat Super agree. My friends told me using credit cards much better but I dont think it is good idea. In the end, I still have extra money and they have nothing left cuz they should pay fee from credit cards.

We have a budget for our regular bills. The extra money we make is to stock up on stuff and to go out once in awhile.

If I am going to live solo, it would be easier to budget the possible expenses. I agree with your opinion about it.

Luckily neither of us are impulse buyers. We buy the things we need and if we want other things it is always a joint decision.

I do budgeting by prioritizing my needs and wants. Always have a list or at least in your mind. Before I buy something which is not in my list, I always think ahead. Do I really need it?

I think you need to think twice at least before taking into a final decision. Sometimes I don't need to make a list. I can take the option of bearing them mind.

I think that is a good idea. We can always decide to cut down unnecessary things in our lives.
