I always recommend it in threads dealing with personal finance. If you want to improve your finances, the first step is to control everything you spend and everything you earn, and that is done with a budget. From there you can reduce debt, if necessary, and save, and then invest. Many people would be surprised that millionaires actually use a budget, especially those who were not millionaires and became one.
A very positive aspect of budgeting is that when you start to control your income and expenses, you feel like your salary has been raised, without it actually happening. And when you get a raise in the future it will be better, because you will have been in control of your finances for a while and you will know how to distribute the money better.
