Why Most Budgets Fail
Market Meditations | March 9, 2021

Having a budget and sticking to it is an essential part of your financial health. It dictates how much money you spend on living expenses 🏡 and how much is left over for investing and building up your trading portfolio.💰However, most budgets fail. Meaning those funds don’t find their way into your preferred trading platform.
This is because people:
- Don’t understand their spending habits.🏧 Look over your historic bank transactions. See what you actually are spending money on and budget accordingly.
- Don’t have clear goals. Take the time to formulate your financial goals.Deliberately budget to achieve these and it will be psychologically easier to maintain.
- Manually enact their budget. Automate your processes🤖so that funds are automatically placed in the correct place. Whether this be your saving account or investment platform.
- Are not realistic. Having unrealistic expectations will only lead to disappointment and abandonment of your budget.
- Do not keep it up to date.📆 Our spending habits and our incomes are constantly shifting. Make sure that your budget reflects your current position in life.
