Quotes to ponder:
"Rather than thinking, 'I can’t only do this much this month,' as a budget encourages you to think, a spending plan allows you to say, 'I’m going to do this with my money.'"
"I prefer to use the phrase 'spending plan.' It seems to convey a better sense of control and purpose."
"With the budget mindset, money is always scarce. A spending plan, though, indicates that you have some sort of direction and purpose for (at least some of) your spending."
