Budget Building
Tools That You Can Use
|
Many people dread the task of building a budget because they view it
as overwhelming and frustrating. But it will make the job easier if
you look at it in another light; an important tool to financial freedom.
Does it feel as though there is no way to get out of the red and into
the black, much less plan ahead for retirement or a vacation? Are you
tired of getting paid on Friday and being broke on Saturday? Do you
have piles of useless junk that you wish you’d never bought? If this
sounds like you, we’ve got good news! There is a lot of help out there
for you in different formats and you will be able to choose which one
suits you the best.
One option is to use software like Quicken or Microsoft Money—they are
both great options and tools for budgeting. Money management software
will take you through the steps and allow you to create or add to categories
of spending so you will be able to look at the annual picture. It will
then break down what you need to look at every month so that you can
be prepared. This software helps with your budget because it lets you
see your money all in one place, as well as giving you prompts when
it’s time to pay your your bills. In fact, some programs will enable
you to have payments automatically deducted from your bank account.
This is a great feature if you’re trying to build your credit report!
As you spend money, you will be able to change the categories; this
will allow you get a better picture of where you need to cut back, or
where you need to invest more. Many money management software programs
often also have companion websites where you can set up an account and
further manage your budget or investments.
If you need something a little more hands on to get yourself back into
the black, you have many options. You can contact a credit counseling
office in your area or online and find out what resources they have
available to you. Many offices have free classes on budgeting.
Many people have such a hard time with budgeting because they simply
don’t know where their money is going! There are some great new websites
such as www.MoneyPants.com that help with this issue. These web sites
will track all of your spending and then help you set up your goals.
There is a low monthly fee to use any website that will help you with
this, but they are generally very user friendly, and in the case of
Money Pants, even fun to use. You will have access to someone who can
answer questions and a message board where you can find a lot of other
information. One great feature is that they will email you with reminders
when you have a bill due.
As you can see, building a budget doesn’t have to be an awful task.
By doing it right, you will get to watch, step-by-step how your financial
picture changes. Just imagine, by taking this step, you may one day
soon be debt free, or even own your own home. The key is to take your
time, do the process in small bites, and be sure to take advantage of
all the help out there. You’ll be on your way in no time!
