It's better to have a budget plan where you can choose what should you buy first and what you really needed.Before I am not so wise in budgeting but i learned now. I write down list of things that i need, then write the things i want to buy if i have spare money... and of course i also a lot an amount of money for my savings.

That is also my motto. I buy things that I need first rather than things that I want. There is a big difference with things you need and want.

Needs should always come before wants, in any budget!

I discovered when I was in financial crisis that there really was much I could do without. I live a much simpler and happier life now, without needing some of the things most people think are essential.

I have learned a lot of budgeting so I only buy the things I need and set a side the things I want.

It is so easy to go over the budget especially when seasonal things come into stores, and after season items. They are a great buy but often times even so they can hinder the budget. It's sometimes better to buy things when they are on sale, and sometimes when they aren't, it just depends on the money at hand and the value and how perishable an item is.

Wants are wants. Needs are needs. Now are there any questions?We should prioritise what we need MORE than what we want. Sometimes, what we want now will be obsolete in the near future.

I think we must always prioritize our needs first. Sometimes, we could regret if we realized that what we had bought is just for our temporary pleasure and desire. The feeling is even worse is we are in state that we run out of money after buying that worthless stuff. So, be careful and always make deep thinking before spending your money..
