-4F are often urged to turn
NJ over a new leaf financially
w at New Years, but there is
really just as much reason or
more. for beginning the years
budget in September, This is the
time Of return from vacations of
taking up the seasons work
whether at school or office, and
starting the household on its Win
ter regime. A great many unusual
expenditures are made at this sea-
son of the year. and, indeed, in
every way it marks the beginning
of a new financial year. Why not,
then. start our budget from Sep
tember / :?
M ever there was a time when
budget plan needed to be followed
that time is now, in view Of still
prevailing high prices. While there
has been a slight drop in some
lines Of clothing, food and furnish
ings, still the average is about so
per cent above the pTe-waT level.
Now, what is a budget? A
budget is simply a method of plan
ming ones spending in advance. It
is q programme or a chart or a
course Of proceeding, and is to the
family what a carefully chartered
course Is to the sailor. It enables
the home to avoid the reefs and
rocks Of financial disaster and to
steer clear for the port Of success.
There is no success in anything
without a definite plan. The per
son who drifts or who decides on
the spur Of the moment never
makes the steady progress of the
person with definite plans.
Now. all the budget asks any one
to do Is to follow a plan of spend
ing instead of spending hap
hazard. 4. budget shows the pro-
portion which should be spent for
each Of the six main divisions Of
the income, namely, shelter, food,
clothing. operating, savings and ad-
vancement.
The exact proportion which must
be spent for each division viii de-
pend on the income, the size Of the
family and their ages. the place
where they live, and particularly
their standards or aim Of life.
Even two families with the same
income viii not have the same
budget or plan It is excellent,
however, to look at typical budgets.

Bu Mrs. Christine Frederick,
he DISTINGUISHED Authority on Household Efficiency

These may guide and suggest COM
parison.
Even in the face OF advanced
rents we should never spend more
than 25 per cent Of the total income
for rent or shelter. Remember that
the lower the income the higher
the percentage you will have to
spend on food, shelter and cloth
ing, while the higher the income
the more chance there is for say
ing and advancement.
Even the business girl or I'M
married man should keep a budget.
It will be the greatest possible
check on extravaganza and point
the way toward saving, either in
Government bonds, savings &C.
count or other investment. 1t is
also safe to say that no income is
too small but what 2 per cent of
It may be saved weekly. For most
incomes the following broad aver
ages hold, even in view Of the pres
ent prices:
RENT-Not more than 25 per
cent.
FoOD-From 25 to 40 per cent.
CLOTHING-From Is to 20 per
cent.
OPERATING-From 6 to Is per
cent.
sAvINGs-From 2 to Is per
cent.
ADVANCEMENT-From 1 to Is
per cent.
The only way to make the budget
come out successfully is to keep
accounts, and this is not such a
bugaboo as many women have be-
lieved in the past. All it requires
is a few minutes each day and the
use of a small ruled account book
holding about thirty columns.
Take one division, such as "Oper-
ating," and give as many columns
as needed to its separate items,
such as laundry, soap, fuel, service,
etc. Write down what is spent on
each item in it's proper column on
the right side, then at the end of
each week add up what is spent for
each division of the income. Com
pare this with typical budget and
see where the leak has occurred.
II both the budget and the &C.
counts are kept on a weekly basis
Ii will not be very difficult. In
deed, it is only matter Of acquir-
ing the habit Of care in writing
down expenses. The labor will
well repay in effort.
