A budget is a plan for spending money.
The idea
Use a budget for one plan and budgets for several. Within budget means spending no more than planned.
Examples
- The club set a budget for travel.
- Our monthly budget includes food.
- The team stayed within its budget.
- A new roof exceeded the budget.
- We adjusted the budget in March.
- Their budgets cover different projects.
