I saw an article recently that talked about the price of groceries going up in Canada. I’ve noticed this myself as I was out grocery shopping especially in the produce section. Cauliflower was $8!? It’s sad that the cost of healthy food is going up making it harder for people to find their families nutritious meals.

Having a budget has helped us tremendously. We know where our money is going and how much we have to spend every month. It’s also allowed us to save money. It gives us a clearer picture of our finances. Knowledge is power. You control your money. Don’t let it control you.
Do you currently have a budget?

Thanks for this, looks like a ton of info! Which I could really use because I’ve never actually sat down and created a budget but I do think it would help me a lot to do so.

Now a days you need to budget, it’s sad to have to choose food or to pay your hydro, it’s just gotten crazy and out of control!!!

I think it’s very important to make a budget, money only goes so far! I think it’s most difficult when start earning a regular wage, there are all those temptations out there (including credit cards that get thrown at you!), things you’ve always wanted and can now afford – you think. It’s only when you sit down and make a budget that you realise your pay check doesn’t go as far as you imagined.
