What is a Budget? Definition
nura, hargeisa
What precisely is a budget? Let's collects some good definitions here.
According to Wikipedia, a budget (from old French bougette, purse) is a financial plan and a list of all planned expenses and revenues. It is a plan for saving, borrowing and spending. A budget is an important concept in microeconomics, which uses a budget line to illustrate the trade-offs between two or more goods. In other terms, a budget is an organizational plan stated in monetary terms.

BUDGET - a Mnemonic / AcronymArif ur Rehman, Professor, Pakistan You can see BUDGET as an acronym:
B = Balanced
U = Utilization
D = Doables
G = Get
E = Effective
T = Transaction
Sometimes, we are swayed by labyrinths of non-connectivity in debates/dialogues. This obviously is non-intentional. The mnemonic spells of the Balanced (most productive) Utilization of Doables (practically feasible variables) to Get (achieve) Effective (optimal utilization) of resources calling for the Transaction, which fundamentally then will be transformational. |
