Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋
I'm Kashef and today we're learning about Simple Budgets! A budget is a smart plan that shows how you will use your money. It helps you pay for needs first, enjoy some wants, and save for the future. Ready to make your own budget? Let’s go! 🚀
📋 What is a Simple Budget?
A simple budget has 3 parts:
- Income → Money coming in
- Expenses → Money going out
- Savings → Money you keep for later
Rule: Income = Expenses + Savings
📊 My Weekly Budget Example
Expenses:
• Snacks = $4
• School supplies = $3
Total Expenses = $7
Savings: $8
15 = 7 + 8 ✓
