Reflection

Can I create a budget that will not constrict my personal spending? How do I know when I am overspending? Will I wait until I have a higher income to start budgeting? Budget creation, no matter what your income level, is essential to prevent overspending and although it may limit your personal spending intially, however it will ensure that in the future you are equipped to spend money as the need arises or in case of emergency.
