For me having a personal budget helps me put money in my savings account. I do sometimes don't stick to it because I have an unexpected bill. It is also helping little by little get out of debt too.

We haven't followed a budget in a while.
We just pay bills and hope there is enough and so far we are doing ok.
It doesn't leave any room for savings doing this.
We keep talking about getting ourselves back on track but so far we haven't done it.

Budgeting is very important, but so is saving a little for those just in case moments that may occur.

Thats why I make my budget and very strict to it ... also I account of my daily expenses so that at any point of time I can know where my money is going and where I have to be strict ... this really give you tension free life and you always at driving seat ...

Everyone should go with a budget plan ... key to success and saving ...

One must have a personal budget to take control over the finances. Otherwise you will not know how much you are spending and how much you are benefitted with the spending you made.
