In this episode of Lazy and Stupid, we hop offline to talk about the exciting world of BUDGETING!

It may not be the most glamorous of subjects, but it’s important to maintain some kind of budget whether you own a business or if you just need to get a better handle on your financial situation.

WHAT IS A BUDGET?

A budget compares your income to your expenses to give you a better understanding of your financial situation.

Budgets can be useful for all sorts of financial planning scenarios. Want to go on vacation? Use a budget to figure out how much money you can set aside to save for it. Want to increase how much you’re able to spend on entertainment? Use a budget to figure out where you can adjust your spending to account for that additional cost.
