[url=http://youneedabudget.com/][/url]This blog helps people with budgeting tips

Please tell our readers something about yourself?
I'm a 27-year old, happily-married father of three (almost 4, almost 2, and not even one month old). When I was a teenager I began writing down everything I spent and realized a few things: 1) I was a nerd and 2) writing things down helped me spend less. I ended up obtaining a Masters of Accountancy degree from Brigham Young University and went to work for a large accounting firm. During those trying days of school and work I founded YouNeedABudget(dot)com.

Would you please share something for people who are in debt?
Most of the time debt is a symptom from living beyond your means (not even by a lot) for an extended amount of time. The key is to treat the cause of the debt -- living beyond your means. The surefire way to do that is to record what you spend and have a plan for your money.

Would you like to say something to our community members?
I teach Four Rules of Cash Flow and am happy to report that users following these Rules (or working toward following them) have been able to substantially pay down their debt and save for emergencies and other large expenses. Financial peace doesn't come from a large balance sheet, it comes from having your spending/saving in line with your true, core values. When you're spending is there, you find contentment.
