365 Days of Python: Day #54 — Balanced Budgeting
2 min readJan 9, 2023
Spending money should not be a stressful experience. However, for most of the world, it is.
Why?
In my opinion, the most significant reason behind this is the fact that you have a finite amount of it. This results in you having to budget in order to not run out of it.
Want to drive a fancy car?
Want to go on exotic vacations?
Want to have kids?
All of these cost money, and if you want to pursue them, then it is critical that you employ some sort of budget for your spending habits.
