Budget (from French bougette, purse) generally refers to a list of all planned expenses and revenues. It is a plan for saving and spending. A budget is an important concept in microeconomics, which uses a budget line to illustrate the trade-offs between two or more goods. In other terms, a budget is an organizational plan stated in monetary terms.

In summary, the purpose of budgeting is to:

  1. Provide a forecast of revenues and expenditures i.e. construct a model of how our business might perform financially speaking if certain strategies, events and plans are carried out.
  2. Enable the actual financial operation of the business to be measured against the forecast.

Business start-up budget

The process of calculating the costs of starting a small business begins with a list of all necessary purchases including tangible assets (for example, equipment, inventory) and services (for example, remodeling, insurance), working capital, sources and collateral. The budget should contain a narrative explaining how you decided on the amount of this reserve and a description of the expected financial results of business activities. The assets should be valued with each and every cost.

Which is the best projector to purchase on a budget for presentations/film screenings?
Q. Hi. I am looking to buy a projector to hook up to my laptop for public film screenings and presentations (e.g. PowerPoint). I am on a budget, so cheaper the better (thinking around 400- 500). As it will be used for public events, the quality also needs to be as good as possible, although I realise that this is harder to achieve with the budget I have! I look forward to reading your suggestions. Many thanks.

A. Go on Ebay and get a used one. You can get some nice projectors on there for cheap. The only thing is, the light bulb life. Most light bulbs for projectors are around 200-300 dollars US. Most players have a bulb life indicator so keep that in mind.

I want to fly a budget airline from Thailand to India and was wondering which budget airline is cheapest?
Q. I am looking to fly from Thailand to India and want to use a budget airline. Do you know which budget airline is cheapest? Thanks

A. I'm afraid there aren't really any budget airlines that fly from Thailand to India -- budget carrier Tiger Airways does fly to India, but sadly not from Thailand. It does, however, fly from Singapore, so you might want to look into flying to Singapore from Thailand (pretty much all of the low-carrier airlines do some version of this route: check Air Asia and Jetstar Asia as well as Tiger) and then on to India. It's worth noting, also, that Tiger only flies into Bangalore, Chennai, and Kochi. Otherwise, in order to get from Thailand to India you might have to graduate away from budget carriers and look into other mainstream airlines like Thai Airways, Air India, Sahara, or Jet. You'll have to determine for yourself whether it's cheaper (an [cont.]

A. only factor to consider is make sure that incomes are greater than outgoes. percentages are not too important, just make everything as low as you can if you are still in debt. pay off your debt and then raise up to a better standard of living and start saving money and getting rich.
