Budgeting (A Giving Saving Spending Plan) is a financial principle of utmost importance necessary to help you prosper and build wealth to fulfill the callings the LORD places on your life. Write down the vision He inspires for your life taking into account your gifts, abilities, guidance from parents, words of prophecy, knowledge, and wisdom from other trustworthy, godly sources, and resources available to you and those you can seek (which are many).
Identify where you see yourself in one year, five years, and ten years and adapt your budgetary aim toward that vision by (a) rightsizing expenses to eliminate any that will not help you expediently get to the place you envision and (b) pursuing no cost, low cost entrepreneurial endeavors that will produce greater income to get you there. Remembering your vision and keeping an eye on your budget several months in advance will quickly let you know how much disposable income you will have available and how much you can spend in current and future pay periods in pursuit of your goals. In addition, it will let you know the breadth of your vision that the LORD must supernaturally facilitate in order for you to meet your goals and destiny. Never hesitate to put the greatness of His vision for you before Him daily as you worship, give thanks, praise, and pray.
Intimacy with Him and consistent consulting His vision for your life will eliminate the urge to spend money on and get loans for material things that will not take you toward the stature He wants your life to represent. The Holy Spirit will help you plan for future activities and investment goals that take you there. A vision and budget are not hard to follow when you stay out of debt because as bill entries are eliminated, your disposable income (cash flow) grows enabling you to spend more on the resources necessary to fulfill the vision. Over time, His goals for you will come to pass and He'll give you more money and responsibility to manage for His glory.
Your wallet will contain holes and your life will be filled with embarrassment when you don't have an established ongoing vision and budget you consult before making spending decisions. However, money managed according to biblical principles blesses you and will also be used to greatly bless many other people for His glory.
