Zero-Based Budget
Every pound gets assigned a purpose before you spend it. Requires more planning but gives you complete control over where your money goes. Popular with debt-reduction enthusiasts.
Envelope System
Physical or digital envelopes for each spending category. When the envelope is empty, you're done spending in that category. Great for people who overspend on discretionary items.
Pay Yourself First
Automatically save and invest before paying any bills or expenses. Works brilliantly for long-term wealth building but requires careful cash flow management.

Month 1-2: Foundation Building

Month 3-4: System Implementation
Begin following your chosen budget method consistently. Expect some trial and error as you adjust categories and amounts based on real spending data.
Month 5-6: Habit Formation
