I keep mixing up the purposes of budgeting. Is it really just about limiting spending, or is it more about strategic choices?

B) is the way to go. Budgeting is all about making informed decisions, not just blindly limiting or maximizing numbers. It's like a recipe - you need the right ingredients in the right proportions.
