Free money finance is giving away a copy of You Need a Budget Pro budgeting software. To enter you need to write a comment sharing the number one reason a person needs a budget. Here’s what I wrote:

You need a budget because building wealth is not possible without self-discipline.

A budget is an essential tool for setting goals; establishing reasonable boundaries that are necessary for meeting those goals; and measuring your performance and holding you accountable to those boundaries. If you lose ground, a budget will alert you to this fact, and you can adjust your budget to compensate. If you exceed your goals, a budget gives you some freedom to enjoy any excess you are blessed with.

A budget is an essential tool for exercising financial self-discipline!
