Budget

The part of your personal finance system that deals with short-term cost control. For a budget to be effective it must:

  1. Be sustainable — if you hit the tipping point, you’ll stop using it
  2. Actually change behavior — this is why Roo’s behavior-based approach matters
  3. Feed into your long-term goals

A budget alone is not enough. It should be just one part of your personal finance system. You can win the short-term game and still lose the long-term game.
