"No two budgets are exactly alike because no two people are exactly alike. Thank goodness!
That’s the beauty of a budget. You get to decide who or what gets your money each month. If you love cooking for your family, budget more for groceries. If you love working out, budget more for a great gym. You’re the boss.
But what if you start noticing that you’re overspending on those gourmet groceries or aerobic boxing classes? All of a sudden you’re paying more for these than your monthly rent or mortgage!
So how do you strike the right balance between doing what you love and budgeting for your money goals? Here are a few ways to save on some of the most fun categories without cutting them out completely."
