When he wants to go to the movies with friends, he can't cover a ticket. The money seems to burn a hole in his pocket.One day, Brad's mum said to him, "You should make a budget." "What's that?" asked Brad."It's a plan of how your money will be spent. You put the money into parts for different kinds of things, like toys and snacks. You spend only as much as your budget allows. That way you can have money for different things," said his dad."Sounds great," said Brad. "Will you help me make one?"That night, Brad sat down with his parents. They put the money into some parts for snacks, toys, movies and books. There were also two special parts, one for helping others and the other for Brad's savings.From that day on, Brad always has enough money.
