Do u have a budget??
The estimates are low. Yes, very few people are known to take the trouble to have their private finances in good order.
Everyone needs to keep watch on his money. As the shepherd keeps an eye on his flocks, everyone of us is the custodian of his money. In this role do we have a plan to ensure the accomplishment of our mission?
Each of us is the architect of his own destiny. Good control over money is an important aspect of life. All of us should be capable of wisely using his money for the common good, benefiting self, family and society. In reality, most people in all walks of life, leave things largely to chance, and grope in the dark.
In this booklet, I have attempted to relate my own experience on the subject, hence the title “My Home Budget”. It may be divided into 4 sections: Introductory, explanatory, exercises, and closing.

Dismantling public apathy
Admittedly what is on offer in this booklet may not be as sophisticated or attractive as those to be found elsewhere. No harm in giving it a try though and see if it meets your needs. Also, it is time tested and inexpensive to operate.
It is worth to reflect that all the above are a store of varied experiences and research, providing knowledge and know- how. The maxim rings true: Offer a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach him to fish, he eats for a lifetime.
Think about it...
I like to think that one day in future, while having tea with someone you care for, you would tap the person on the shoulder and, oozing with confidence and vigor, utter the words "Excuse me, do you have a budget?”.
