Why do I need a budget?
Budgeting helps you achieve your financial goals. It helps you plan for expenses, track your spending, and set aside money for your long-term goals such as a house deposit, wedding, or holiday plans.
Without a plan, it can be easy to overspend, potentially leaving you unable to pay for essential expenses. This might mean you need to take on additional credit card debt and may impact your credit score.
How do I track my budget?
There are several ways you can track your budget. You can choose to use a budgeting app, spreadsheet, or even pen and paper. The important thing is to choose a method that works for you and one that you're most likely to stick with.
The Equifax Budget Planner Tool is a simple way to track your spending and get in control of your finances. Simply record income and expenses then let the inbuilt calculations work for you. It's easy to make changes, save information in one place, and keep track of your progress.
