Managing money is a balancing act. Monthly budgeting can help you stay focused on your finances, and therefore less likely to give into impulse purchases.
The most crucial thing for proper budgeting is to keep every receipt so you can calculate how much you are spending versus how much you are saving. Alternatively, you can pay for everything with your debit and credit card, and rely on your bank statements for this information. Then, on a monthly basis, you can add up the amount of money you spent on the following items (where they apply):
By reviewing your budget on a monthly basis, you can stop unnecessary expenses incurred by things like unused subscriptions or club memberships, and you can invest leftover money to help with future costs (expected or unexpected).
Budgeting can also help you determine approximately how much money you will have in any number of weeks/months/years if your spending habits stay the same. Ultimately, the earlier you adopt a budget-conscious mindset, the better off you'll be in the long run.
