Personal budgeting is the process of tracking income and expenses to plan how money is spent, saved, and invested over a given period. Individuals use budgeting methods, such as the 50/30/20 rule or zero-based budgeting, along with tools and apps like Mint or YNAB, to control debt, build savings, and reach financial goals. It's a foundational personal finance skill taught in financial literacy programs and used by people at all income levels.
