What's your thought?
 
Making a personal budget means you are trying to categorize your expenses into different categories and allot certain funds to each category. You even further divide your categories into subcategories. The basic categories for your budget would be necessities, emergency funds, investment funds, and luxuries. You can subcategorize "necessities" into rent, food, credit card bills, mortgage payment, etc. You can subcategorize luxuries into vacation, buying new clothes, etc. When you make a budget and allot a certain amount for each category, you should stay with it. If you allotted $1000 for your necessities and if you fell short of $100 make sure to cut your expenses so that you can fit within the $1000 budget for your necessities. When you have sent $200 on your emergency funds, make sure to contribute $200 to your emergency even if this means you have to cut your necessities. If you do not strictly implement your budget, there is no point in making your budget.
