It was really an eye opener for her. (She was spending around $200.00 a month on soda pop alone.) She started her budget about three years ago and has not had to borrow since……

In today's here today, gone tomorrow society there are not many people that take the time to create a personal budget. Many feel that they don't really need it; while others just don't want to restrict their spending. With this in mind, it's no wonder that personal bankruptcies are at such an all time high.

There is small hope that these patterns of behavior will change in favor of living on a budget until the masses realize all of the advantages of a personal budget.…
