Why I Don’t Like Budgeting?
At first I don’t like it, until I know why. It feels like dieting. I hate controlled diets; I want to eat what I like when I want anytime. I am on a “see-food” diet. I eat when I see food. The word budget affects people like a disease.
If you have done budgeting before try to recall what were on the list. Food, rent, bills and all basic needs. Does your budget looks like a financial plan that takes away all the fun?
If we look at budgeting as measured spending rather than eliminating the things that we want, then it would be exciting and fun. When I started budgeting, it did not include in the list most of the things that spell fun.
Budgeting is also a trial and error process. Sometimes, things and situation don’t happen as expected. You will be making changes along the way, just like any plan should be. It can never be perfect but once you have mastered the process it becomes effortless. The reward is having control over your financial life, rather than letting it control you.
