Honest budgets

A budget is a list of choices. It should read like one.

If we spend it, we say so. If we cannot afford it, we say so. If it can wait, it waits.

No fog. Homeowners pay the bill. They get a straight answer.

I will not promise numbers I do not have. I will promise this: I will read the budget, I will ask what it buys, and I will say yes only when I can explain it to you.
