What if you could show you have to get a 13% raise this year? That would be awesome wouldn’t it?
I’m not talking about from your job, I’m talking about from your own budget.
The Motley Fool says that the average American overspends nearly $7,500/ year.
If you make near what the average American makes/year, that’s more than 13% of your income.
So how do you get that money back in your account? Simply stop overspending. And the best way to do that is to create a budget.
A budget allows you to have control over your money, making sure it goes where it should and that it doesn't go where it shouldn't.
Remember, it’s not about how much you make, but how much you keep. Having a budget will help you keep what you make and grow your income organically.
So if you want a 13% raise this year, instead of asking your boss, assemble a budget and watch your money stack up.
