Why do you need a personal finance budget?

June 19th, 2009 by Will Crowthers   waiting for comments...

This is the first release of one of our content sections which can be found in ‘Budgeting’. As we noted in the release of Twenty Something Sense 2.0, we will continue to release content we feel can be referenced over time in the sections in the top navigation.

This section will start by telling you why you need a personal budget and the move into how to create a budget. These sections will cover the basics and we will next explore creating your first budget (via spreadhseet), and using tools such as Quicken and Mint.com to manage your budget…

The difference is that the formatted version is readable and easier to gain information from while the second is illegible, hard to understand and frustrating.
