BudgetYes! is a step-by-step, exactly "how-to" create a customized personal budget. It is a complete budgeting education--where you learn not just to track what you've done, but how to actually "run" a real budget, with emphasis on how to plan in-advance for spending. It does not focus on the outdated paradigms of "diet" and "deprivation," but approaches the topic from a perspective of organization and finding more money in your life with budgeting.

Concepts that work,
By Amanda Formaro (Kenosha, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BudgetYes! 21st Century Solutions for Taking Control of Your Money Now! (Paperback)
In BudgetYes! you will find solutions to your problems of wandering funds, missing money and unorganized finances. A well explained, detailed and illustrated book that lays it on the table and will help you to get organized with your money and account for every dime. Inside you will not only find well orchestrated instructions, but examples of all of the different layouts you will need to begin to get a grip on your finances. The concepts used here are very similar to the principals of accounting, yet they are explained in a way that you don't need to be a C.P.A. to understand them. I highly recommend this book for anything from getting a grip on your money to setting up a complete household budget. Well done!

Life Changing,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: BudgetYes! 21st Century Solutions for Taking Control of Your Money Now! (Paperback)
This was a fabulous book. I am addicted to BudgetYes. It changed my life -- I paid off $10,000 of credit card debt in 6 months and actually look forward to paying my bills each month. For anyone who doesn't necessarily have money "problems" but who knows they ought to learn to live within a budget and wants to set a good example for their children, this is the perfect book. I've given a copy to my sister and my mother. If I could find a diet book that worked as well, I'd be in heaven.
