From DaveRamsey.com

One of the best things about the budget? It’s math.

Math haters and Free Spirits, keep reading!

Math is black and white. There’s no gray area.

You want to know why you’re spending $400 more than you make every month? It’s all there in the numbers. You just have to take a little time to think through it.
