At the end of the day, any effective budget is a communication tool. If you’re using it solo, it’s communicating to you where your money is going, and how well your spending aligns with the priorities that you’ve defined. If you’re budgeting with a partner, the budget is communicating this info to the both of you, helping to keep you both on the same page. However, this only works when both parties buy into using the budgeting tool, without which the budget can quickly become a source of resentment, frustration, and disagreements.
