Kyle gets to go out to eat and watch movies with his friends every weekend for the next month is not the correct way to follow his monthly budget.

Option (a);

Step-by-step explanation:

Budgeting means planning how to spend one's money. The plan is called a budget. When a student gets to a college, he plans a budget so that he can keep an account of the money spent on textbooks, housing if needed and other expenses.

With the habit of budgeting, he can create secure finances even for his future. Kyle wanted to save money to go to college. If he spends all his money on watching movies and eating outside with his friends would results in unnecessary expenditures and due to this his savings would go in vain.

Answer:

C) He can use any excess money as extra spending money for anything he wants.

Step-by-step explanation:

This option is absolutely what should not happen. If he had access to the money to spend as he wished, it would drastically affect his budget and his savings.

The option A is also something that is not recommended, however, if to eat out and go to the movies do not require a large amount of money that disrupts the budget, it can be acceptable.
