But fearnot, financial fledgling! We're about to embark on an enlightening journey to decode the elusive world of budgeting.
The What: Understanding Budgeting At its core,budgeting is a plan. It's a roadmap detailing where your money should go every month. Think of it as a diet for your wallet—ensuring that each dollar iswell-spent, saved, or invested, instead of being mindlessly squandered on impulsive buys or forgotten subscriptions.
The Why: Benefits of Budgeting

- Financial Goals: Want that new car or dream vacation? A budget is your best pal in achieving those goals.
- Stress Reduction: Knowing you're on top of your finances brings a certain peace of mind that's worth its weight in gold.
The How: Creating a Simple Budget
- Income Assessment: Start by listing all your sources of income. Yes, that includes grandma's $20 birthday check.
- Track Every Expense: Every. Single. One. From that morning latte to the monthly rent.
- Categorize: Group similar expenses. Groceries, dining out, utilities, entertainment, and so on.
- Set Limits: Based on your income, allocate amounts to each category.
- Stick to it, Adjust as Needed: The beauty of a budget is its flexibility. If you overspend in one category, see where you can tighten the belt in another.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
