The state budget can be thought of as a household budget – just on a larger scale. Just as a family allocates its money to cover its basic needs, the government plans how it will spend the funds available in a given year.

Understanding how the state budget works is important, as it affects our everyday lives. By understanding the budget, we gain an insight into how our taxes are spent and what the government's priorities are, which helps promote responsible and transparent use of public funds.
