By having a budget you can easily allocate your money from most priority expenses like basic needs (foods, clothes etc.), paying water, electric and rent bill, paying contributions (SSS, Insurance, etc.) and also paying your debt to less priority expenses like cell phone load, travelling and eating outside causing additional too much spending etc. We can cut if not then we can lessen this less priority expenses so that more amount of money can be allocated.
