•Are we spending our money the way we planned?
•Will we have too little, too much, or just enough?
•What does this tell us about our plan? 25

Identify ProblemsAfter you’ve evaluated your progress, ask yourself:
•Has our actual spending differed from our budget plan, and if so, how?
•Will we run out of money in any area? End up with excess?
•Will we need to make adjustments to keep on track?
