With it being me and my kids that live with me I do feel that I need to budget how much I spend a week. With making sure I have gas and electricity running, make sure my kids who are in school can get the bus to school for the week, and also ensure that they have money for dinner as well throughout the week as well as my daughter when she is in college and also ensuring I have food and everything else I need through the week I find it easier to budget so I know where I am. If I didn't budget and just went with the flow, I know I would end up overspending and then leave myself in a pickle and I would end up with anxiety if I did mess up. Budgeting for the week as well ensures I know how much I may have left at the end of it and know if I would have anything extra for treats and such that week.
