Remember how I said that traveling without a budget is like traveling without a map in hand? Your budget is going to help create a roadmap for your finances. If you get off-budget one month, then you can go back to your budget and get back on track. No worries if you do fall off track. That’s what the budget is there for.
Yes. It’s there to help you stay on your designated financial route. It’s okay if your financial route changes over time – similar to how the best-laid RV travel plans (even if you plan ahead) always seem to change.
Your budget and financial roadmap might also shift and adjust as life happens. This can be anything from adding a child to the family, getting married, changing jobs or growing a buisiness, etc. I think you get the idea here; your budget is a living document for your finances that adjusts with life.
