Budgetary Planning is a written statement of management's plans for a specified
period. Each level of management usually gets involved in creating the budget-that's
called Participative Budgeting. The Master Budget includes budgets for all the financial
statements- the Operating Budget =Income Statement; the Financial Budgets = Balance
Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows. Budgets always start with the Sales Budget, followed
by the Selling, General and Administration Expenses budget. Your goal is a profit; Sales
greater than your Expenses.

you are taking in. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY DEBTS. What additional changes can you
make in your lifestyle to stay out of debt?
