Always. Can't recall when I didn't. A monthly budget keeps me on track, and always have an extra hundred bucks at the end of the month, in case of an emergency.

No...I just make sure to live within my means. So: I don't budget. That is (for example): I don't specify what I need to buy and then list the things I can afford to buy. I just don't buy things that I can't afford, enough so that my savings increase. Some weeks my savings increases a little, sometimes a lot, in infrequent situations I feel a real need to spend some of my savings...but never MORE than my savings.

In my head, I know what I my expenses are and how much I am spending.

When you live on SS you had better budget! I live on my SS.

Yes I budget. Examples. I buy store brand versions of brand names. Store brands are usually the brand name in a store packaging. I shop at thrifts. I comparison shop and buy the cheapest brand that I can still like for the quality.
-
When money was tight, I did budget.
