What is a budget?

A budget is a financial plan that tracks your income and expenses. It is a powerful tool that helps get your finances in order by helping you understand where and how you spend your money.

 

Why do I need to budget?

Budgeting helps you achieve your money goals.

It allows you to keep your spending under control so you can allocate funds towards what really matters such as a house deposit, a wedding or even travel plans. Without a budget, it can be easy to overspend. This can have negative consequences such as a lower credit score, additional credit card debt or being unable to pay for essential expenses such as rent and utilities.

If you worry about money often, budgeting is a great way to take control of your finances.
