Analyze Your Budget
Based on the budget you've created, answer the following questions:
1. Do your expenses exceed your income? If so, what adjustments could you make
to avoid overspending?
Answer: My expenses did not exceed my income.
2. How much are you able to save each month? Are you happy with your savings
rate?
Answer: My savings varies depending on my net income since my expenses
change every month. Based on my actual spending, I am not satisfied with my
net income because I know that I can save more. Still, I am grateful because I
can survive everyday without getting starved.
3. Which categories of expenses could be reduced without significantly affecting
your lifestyle?
Answer: Shopping and dining out could be reduced since they could be
classified into wants and I can still be happy without it.
4. What financial goals could you set for yourself based on this budget (e.g., save
for a new phone, build an emergency fund, pay off debt)?
Answer: One of the financial goals I could set for my self is to buy a property as
an investment. Because I know that a real estate property is a good investment.
