If you really understand budgeting, you will never need an explanation why you have to implement it in your life. Nobody took the time to budget their money and follow it strictly yet still ended up in a financial crisis. No foolproof budget plan will ever lead to your financial demise. If you really want to improve your finances situation, one of the things that you cannot live without is a budget.

Sadly, it seems like Americans are slipping back to our old ways. The effects of the Great Recession included a more cautious American spender that used a budget to keep themselves from overspending. That time seems to have passed.

According to the latest survey from the NFCC.org, majority of the respondents (3 out of 5), revealed that they are not budgeting and keeping track of where they are spending their money. This is one of the habits that got most of us in debt and in a lot of trouble in the mid 2007 to 2008. Those who claim that they are spending less is also declining – which indicates that consumers are increasing their purchases. While this may seem good for an economy that is 70% reliant on consumer spending, that does not really bode well for the average American household.

We are not saying that you should stop spending. We are in a consumerist society. Not spending will be very difficult to do even if that is what you really want to happen. What we really want you to do is to keep on spending but before you do that, you have to seriously implement budgeting in your life. That way, you can easily monitor where your money is really going.
