Plan Spending

A budget is important because it means you can plan your spending, rather than just living week to week. A sensible spending plan would allow 10-20% of your income to be allocated to savings. Around 50-60% is an ideal allocation for living expenses. Create Good Habits Read books and seek financial advice from trained professionals.
