I have written quite a bit about budgeting over the last few years since I consider it was a key component to getting our finances under control. Just like most people, I always hated the idea of budgeting, but once you get a better understanding of the freedom that comes with using a budget you fall in love with it. Or at least I have. 
The thing I regularly finding myself telling people is that budgeting is not necessarily a restrictive task. It isn’t all about telling yourself “NO” all the time. In face, as Linda and I have become better at budgeting, we find that it allows us to tell ourselves “Yes” many times when our natural inclination would be to not do something…
