budgeting 101


to dig deep into envelope budgeting, i must simplify the term first. hence, i need to make sure i understand the word budgeting... budget.
A budget (from old French bougette, purse) is a financial plan and a list of all planned expenses and revenues. It is a plan for saving, borrowing and spending
so, basing from the definition, it can be simplified as... (income - expense = 0) where income is defined(in my own words) as any monetary device labeled with currency which was received and/or is available to be consumed by the calculated expenses. while expense is a calculation of how the income will be used.

some might ask where saving lies in the formula. since, i believe that it is one of the elements of expenses, let me extend the formula to: [income - (saving +other expenses) = 0]

i still have doubts on this calculations, though. so, any comments and suggestions are encouraged for a healthy discussion.

gamer 2009

i got interested with the gamer because of gerard butler - very good acting on 300 . but it didn't started there. it started with the spy next door of jackie chan where i saw amber valletta . and as an info geek that i am, i searched for other movies she starred. and gamer was her last movie before the comedy/spy flick. review? it's bloody, sexy and cool! which means it's good. i would recommend it to be watched on the big screen. but hd/plasma at home will do.
