reverse budgeting


Explanation:
Reverse budgeting is the idea that you save first, then spend the rest. This system is a back-ended system in which you force the savings, thus guaranteeing it, and then let the chips fall where they may on expenditures. By auto-drafting these savings out of an account, you essentially guarantee you won’t “accidentally” spend them away. An example of this would be if you set your 401(k) contributions ahead of time to draft from your paycheck and then let your spending go where it goes.
Benefits: Simplest process of them all, simply save and then you can spend from one big envelope.
Drawbacks: Lacks visibility into expense types for expenditure improvement, doesn’t force you to have the “budget discussion.”

Example sentence(s):
  • Rather than setting precise budgeting constraints by category, reverse budgeting sets apart a specific amount for saving and the rest is all fair game for spending.
