Patricia needs a budget
This is Patricia
She just bought some solid gold rollerskates
Diamond encrusted sunglasses
A surf and turf hot air balloon picnic
3 sets of golf clubs
A pair of singing parachute pants
A flying elephant
Guess how much money she has left?
None
She can't pay her
electric bill
Her water bill
Her internet bill
Her rent
Her gas bill
Among others!
What are bills you may ask
A bill is something you pay
for something you use that is
measured by a business
on how regularly you use that
for instance how much water you use
in your home - from your tap
you pay a business for that water
Patricia is worried they will:
Cut off these things she needs
To do daily tasks
Patricia asks for an extension on her bills
Which luckily they approve
Patricia talks to her friend Dave
Who always seems good with money
He sits her down and tells her to write a list
Of things she spends her money on
And Dave is shocked to find out
Alot of it isnt needed
He agrees it is fine to do fun things
Every once in a while
But you need to restrain yourself
Sometimes so you don't get in
Tricky situations like she has
So he suggests she set expenditure goals
For saving money, for spending
And do your best to be very strict
When it comes to things you dont need
Do your rollerblades really need to be solid gold?
Do your sunglasses really need diamonds in them?
Do you really need to eat your surf and turf from a hot air balloon?
Do you really need 3 sets of golf clubs?
Do you really need a singing pair of parachute pants?
Do you really need a flying elephant?
Do you really need an elephant?
Learn moderation, you can enjoy these things
but make sure you are paying your bills first!
