With the start of a new year, here are 5 reasons why you should start budgeting today...
1. Take control of your finances - Money experts will tell you, the first step towards taking control of your finances and saving money is regular budgeting. Budgeting allows you to plan and monitor your spending to identify and adjust for instances where expenses exceed your income.
2. Stop living payday to payday - Are stuck in the cycle of waiting for your next payday to arrive only to see the majority of your money used to pay last month's bills? Budgeting will let you get out of this cycle, give some financial breathing space and not have to wait until the next payday to arrive.
3. Eliminate personal and family financial stress - Does managing your personal and household finances create unwanted stress for you and/or your partner? Conflict over managing money is one the top reason for marriage separation. Budgeting and planning your finances will help eliminate these stresses from your live.
4. Increases savings and reduce debts - Regular budgeting will help you increase your savings, this is a proven fact. If you increase your savings, you can reduce your debts. Image paying off your mortgage 5 years ahead of schedule or significantly reducing your student loans or not paying interest on due to car repayments. IMAGINE LIVING DEBT FREE!
5. Emergency funds for that rainy day - The only things that are guaranteed in life are death and taxes. To ensure you are well prepared for those unfortunate and unexpected times in your life when things don't go plan, you'll need some emergency funds stashed away. Budgeting lets you maintain an emergency fund for those rainy days.

I think having an emergency fund is a vital first step in successful budgeting because when you budget for the first time, you don't always get it right. It's good to have some emergency money there for that!
