Let's get you started
Before you get started with Budget Pro, let's look at what budgeting is, why you might choose to start a budget and how to actually get your Budget going.
Budgeting is simply the process of balancing your income and outcome and thus creating a plan for how you'll spend your money. It's that simple.
Getting started with a budget and tracking your finances might seem onerous and time-consuming but there are many reasons why you might find starting a budget useful.
Budgeting is a bit like exercising. It can be difficult to motivate yourself to start but once you take the plunge, it doesn’t take long to reap the benefits.

There are many misconceptions around what budgeting is and what it involves. Many people view budgeting as negative and restrictive, hence never giving it a fair shot. Here our team bust some of the myths which surround budgeting and hope to allow you to see the process in a whole new light!
There are loads of good money habits which you should adopt to help ensure that your money is safe and that you have a healthy bank balance. Here we look at some good money habits that can help set you up for a financially secure future.
