Let me say a little bit about the world in which the man or woman who would really benefit from using The Working Man's Budget lives.
The biggest thing he or she faces is pressure. It comes from all directions, and we need to bear it successfully or eventually either something will break or things will tend to fall into a miserable personal depression.
The Working Man's Home Budget will help, because it has all your financial pressures right there in front of you. You can glance down the page and there is a rhythm to them, each item fitting onto one line. This is no trivial feature. Other budgets I have seen cling to an insider's phraseology, using more than one line for an item whose insider wording spills over one line. This breaks the rhythm of the budget. It forces you to rescan these complicated items, just for a moment, losing the rhythm of the budget.
You don't have time to spare in such an important matter as a budget. You need that unbroken rhythm of a perfectly clean layout that you get with The Working Man's Home Budget. So easy to see, so hard to create, and the Working Man's Home Budget creates it.
Besides pressure, there is persuasion. I admit to it. I'm looking to make money. But I have seen people who I thought were probably already keeping a budget tell me, no, they weren't keeping a budget, were interested in mine, and bought one. And this was most of the people I approached. So don't let my hard sell fool you, I am trying to persuade you. But I think I have a better product, so I feel confident I am seeking to make an honest living. We all face persuasion, and come to some understanding of how much of it is okay and how much is too much. It's part of a budget, learning to separate persuasion from real value, and I encourage every working man and woman to separate them.
Another part of the working man or woman's world is decay. We start a new regimen, get excited for a while, and then sluff off gradually and quit. This is a hard one. As much as budgeting is a good idea, it takes persistence, and no amount of excellent advice is going to change this. Let's be honest. I am marketing to the man or woman who is not a natural record keeper. I don't want him to buy the budget and then put it aside forever. I want him to keep it up, make some real changes, and improve his life. I make a sale one day and I'm happy, but I will feel something of a failure if the buyer sets it down and never looks at it again. Find friends to discuss your efforts at budgeting. It will ease the load. And buy a good budget. That's the beginning of good finances.
This blog supports my home budget for folks who need some help putting into order a lot of details in the matter of money, its coming in and its expending out. It describes the budget, but it also discusses budgeting with some fresh viewpoints, and also hard practical reality.
What does the rich man have that the working man doesn't?
Economy.
That's why this is the home budget the working man needs. It puts money into an order. It does not overflow with hidden computer effects or fancy math. Math itself is the nature of what is economized here--just one list of income items, and one list of expense items, per column, all on a hard copy sheet. One sheet holds two time periods, side by side. Another sheet is just for constituting budget items composed of lots of items themselves. Finally, you get another two pages like these, but with blanks for you to customize with items not specified, one sheet for main items and one sheet for sub-items. Transfer the custom main item totals to the main sheet and your budget is ready to balance.
The budget is as readable, and stimulating, as art, and in essence you are buying a work of art as well as a budget. So if you are skilled with a document application, and skilled in art, and skilled with economics, you will be able to create a budget just as good as this one. Otherwise, The Working Man's Home Budget is ready to serve.
Some may use it extensively. Some may just look at it and come to a better place, where money is concerned. Either way, it's going to have a big impact on the working man or woman who needs economy. If you're reading this you probably will be looking for a computer application for yourself. But think of those of your friends who need something they can touch and feel and not go away with a click. This budget is for them.
Try it. It could be the most important thing you'll do for your computer-challenged friends, whom you can help out considerably by getting this budget to them. But please, observe the copyright and buy as many downloads as you intend to give to friends. It's a matter of courtesy, not to mention law.
