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.

rhymin

i got stuck with words on this song that i want to finish by tomorrow. i have no instrument to use so im hoping to finish at least the lyrics. sad part is my rhyming brain is not that functional right now. so, i headed online to look for some sites or software that can help. here's what i got: analogx.com 's rhyme came to mind first as it's what i used before. a simple to install software that returns numerous results that, most of the time, ends up confusing. good thing is you can use it offline. so i started searching. 3d2f and the next one got my attention. but let me pour my heart out on this one first. one word: confusing! it gave me more list to figure out. so click on the first. then it lead me to several pages before i get to download. then, i have to figure out which of the links i needed. then after few minutes, i found it only to be more confused... i am to download a 249MB of a .dmg which turned out to be for mac engines and not for windows. i know, right?! w...

Company-Client-Value (CCV) System

Formal Definition      The Company–Client–Value (CCV) System is a relational framework that defines the dynamic equilibrium between the origin of belief (the company), the recipient and mirror of belief (the client), and the shared symbolic core (the value).      It models how institutional meaning is co-created, transmitted, and stabilized between organizations and their external constituencies, forming the fundamental triad that underlies every economic, cultural, or ideological ecosystem. 1. Conceptual Essence      The CCV system asserts that all sustainable institutions are founded on a shared value field;  an implicit agreement of meaning between producer and participant.      The company originates and expresses a value; the client perceives, validates, and reciprocates it. Between them stands the value itself,  the symbolic medium that both sides recognize as true.      When all three p...

Being Special and the Truth Beneath It

  There’s a moment in Hunger (2023) where the antagonist delivers a monologue meant to wound: questions about relevance, fear of failure, fear of losing everything once you become “special.” So... you're special now. How is it? Is it fun? It's scary, isn't it? From now on, all you will ever think about is, "When will I fall off the edge?" "Am I still relevant?" "Is this really for me?" You'll cling to your success at all cost without realizing what you've lost. Like Tone. You've lost him, haven't you? But don't panic yet. This is just the start. There is so much more for you to lose. That... is the price for being special. It’s dramatic, sure. But it’s philosophically wrong. Those questions have nothing to do with being special. It can only come from a regular fragile person thinking they are special. They describe the psychology of someone who depends on validation , not someone who carries an intrinsic difference. A...
