Budgeting is the practice of ruthlessly setting priorities. A good budget ensures that your spending is aligned with the experiences and goals you value most.
Strong budgeting skills will allow you to do things you previously might have assumed were out of reach – whether that’s paying off your debt, traveling the world or retiring at age 35.
