Concept:
Budgeting is creating a plan for how to use your money.
It helps you keep track of what you earn, what you need to spend, and how much you can save.
A good budget gives you control and confidence — no matter how much money you have.
Example Illustration:
You get $20 a week.
You decide to spend $10 on needs (like school supplies), $5 on wants (like snacks), and save $5.
That’s a budget — a simple plan that gives every dollar a job.
