| After a business meeting Beth is explaining the importance of budgeting to her college John |
|
 | I had to create a budget so that I know how to save my money for the goals. The budget clearly lays out how I am going to get all of the money and where it is all going to go. | |
|
| Is this the first time you've used a budget? | |
|

|
| Beth goes on to explain her past experiences with budgeting |
|
| No not at all when I was in high school I saved money for a missions trip. Every paycheck I got from working at a local kennel I put away at least $50. On months I made the most money I put up to $200 away. | |
|
| Wow that must've been hard. | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| It was but the idea of the mission trip made it worth it.The only thing I spent money on during this period was gas to get around. When I got money from dog sitting or babysitting I used that as spending money. And then over the summer I traveled to Malawi with my church. It was great. | |
|
| Well I might have to try budgeting for my next family vacation so it's all paid off before we even go! | |
