Rethink the budget

A budget doesn't limit your spending.
Your income does.

Most people picture a budget as a cage: fewer treats, more rules. But your income set the limit long before any budget did. A budget decides where that income goes, before the month begins, so you can spend what's yours with confidence.Most people picture a budget as a cage.
