WHY BUDGET? By Helen B. Hamilton
Tbe thought of budgeting ibe
tinily income gets per hups J
iany different receptions u ilierj
Ere (aiuiliei who entertain it.
here are some faumea when
either the husband nor wife
Vuuld welcome the plan of apr
louing tbe funds to vanoua use;
ithers in which tbe husband
(leads in vain with tbe eUrva
ant mate to keep her accounts:
Kill others where tbe reverse coa
lition fciiuta, and Borne few where
loth partners eater glady Into the
usiness. Ot the second class, w
re reminded of the etury of the
new husband who explained en
thusiastically to bin impractical
bride just bow to keep her little
account book. "See dear, here in
a tittle column vr food, another
for shelter, and here la one for
your clothing ,oue for mine, and
so on. All you have to do is to
keep track of every expenditure la
a little book and at tbe end of tbe
month we will add up all those of
a kind and pout the totals In the!
proper columns." When tbe eirt j
of the month came they sat down
together to post tbe little ne I
book and to learn tbe results of
the first month e venture nto
matrimony. At II ret the Items
showed accurate entry and tana,
glancing down the remainder ot
the column, the husband discover
ed that Beveral Items were entered,
G. O. K. "What were these ex
penditure, Jane? What do ycu
mean by G. O. K?' "Why, I JuU
cau't recall, Jim, but G. O. K.
means God Only Knows."
There are very few fa ml lie
who keep a budget. Even women
who have received actual trainiu
In this work through doma:ic
acieuce courses rarely do so, but
fiud it easier to use an allowance
and let their husband, worry over
the future financial outlook.
Much material ia available In
books and magazines about thofe
who make a budget. Authors dif
fer about tbe account divisions fur
incomes but perhaps tbe must
common are;
1 Food.
2 Shelter, rent.
3 Operating, light, heat. Ice,
phone, wages of maid, house fur
utHbiugs, etc.
4 Clothing.
5 Saving, not ncce.iHarily con
crete case, but expenditures far
Improvement!, on property, insur
ance, Investments,
6 Luxuries, cigars, barber,
extru food, clothing, amusement.
7 Advancement, education,
music, vacation.
Food shelter and eolthlng should

health. (Anything beyond this
should be claused as luxuries.) The

food, advancement, luxuries and
savings varies considerable; th V.
for shelter, operation and clothing
remain more or less the same.
When Iteglnr.Tng a budget .one
should consult tne bent authorises
to get their general ideas. Then,

spent for tbe items which very

a staudard of living promoting

ly, get the totals under each head
and compute the per cent ot eicL

and advancement accounts do not
show enough to maintain funds to

meet emergencies one must see that

One should reason that luxuries

advancement. One author says:
"Luxuries are those things which
causes the race to deteriorate."
Tbe allowance plan la not a
good one. It Is unbusinesslike
and shows a failure to grasp a
broad view of the family finances,
ft fosters extravagance if the al
lowance is too large; begging.
?k tin pmg and even sneaking
methods If the allowance Is too
small. It places the entire respon-
sibilty of running the family af
fairs on the wage-earner, while
leaving the wife in Ignorance of
the true state of tbe financial con
dition of the exchequer.
The budget system has the fal
lowing concrete advantages:
1 Mutual understanding of
family finances.
2 Character building, a good
saver is a good spender. If the
children, too, are required to do
their part, it Is fine training to
meet future needs In business as
well as home.
Z Co-operation In the family,
each member bears big share of the
responsibilities and gets his share
of the benefits.
4 Good budgeting, especially
of small Incomes, promote a
healthful standard of living. No
budgeting allows unwise leaks In
expenditure for unnecessary
things.
