Budgeting isn’t about restriction — it’s about intention. So many people associate budgeting with saying “no,” cutting back, or living with less. But in reality, a well-crafted budget is not about limitation; it’s about freedom. It’s a tool that helps you tell your money where to go instead of wondering where it went — and, more importantly, it allows you to align your financial decisions with your deepest values and God-given purpose.
