For example, in the instance of an annual budget, the system divides the year into, say, a3 month Primary period and a 9 month Secondary period; fixes the budget for the Primary period, while making a tentative budget for the Secondary period; drops the Primary period once it gets over; gains the first 3 months from the Secondary period to be the new Primary period and extends the Secondary period into the immediately following 3 months; repeats the budgeting procedure as before with due consideration for inferences from the erstwhile Primary period; and ensures that you perpetually have an annual budget in action.
