Yeah, when you make a budget it will prevent you from spending irresponsibly. it is only young people that are not disciplined who spend their money irresponsibly. Whenever I get my monthly income I usually share it into different percentages. Some for investment and some for savings and a lot of other things.This is a very good point. A budget will always guide against excessive spending and help track your spendings. Most young people tend to spend impulsively without planning.
