"This is a good article. I used to have 2 columns only when doing budgeting: money in, and money out (ie, expenses). I had always thought expense is just money going out. Now I know, there is such a thing as good expense. This article also interesting in that budgeting is likened to dieting- I don't have to deprive myself of things I want, but I just have to find a more sensible expense to substitue for the bad expense. I am applying this now in my monthly budgeting. More power!"
