What's a budget?

It's a tool that can help you manage spending.

There are two key parts of a budget, the first: Totaling your sources of income...

...to understand just how much you get from paychecks and any other sources.

The second: listing the things you spend on based on your total income.

That can include costs like rent, a car, food and savings.

Why make a budget?

Budgeting helps you track how you spend money and better control where your money goes.

That can help to focus on what's important to you...

...like saving for a trip, a house, or retirement.

So if you have money goals, a budget can be the road map to get you there.

So that's a budget. Find more ways to know and grow your money at synchronybank.com.
