Or alternatively you may want to reduce spending on certain type of transactions, or at the very least keep track that the spending does not increase dramatically.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These type of transactions can be grouped together in &lt;em&gt;budgets&lt;/em&gt;, as they are recurring costs.
For each budget you can allocate a specific amount of money every month.
Pledger.io will then keep track of your expected and the actual expenses.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>How to manage liabilities</title><link>https://www.pledger.io/how-to/your-finances/liabilities/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.pledger.io/how-to/your-finances/liabilities/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;In financial accounting, a liability is defined as the future sacrifices of economic benefits that the entity is obliged to make to other entities as a result of past transactions or other past events.&lt;/p&gt;
