A business unit employs a budget to carry out its financial planning of forecasting. A business budget is a formalized quantitative presentation that is, a set of figure of a firm’s coordinated plans.
A well prepared budget forces planning at all levels, improves coordination of all activities of the firm, increases employees motivation, reduces costs by increasing efficiency, and enhances management’s ability to make the wisest choice of alternative courses of action.
The primary purposes of business budgets are to improve planning and control and ultimately to increase the profit and to improve financial position of the firm. A person who is required to prepare a formalized plan that may be held responsible for compliance with the plan, will prepare carefully for the future. Thus, operating on a budget should be much more efficient than operating on a day to day basis.

In 1940, Lithuania and therefore Kaunas as well was occupied by the Russian army. I still remember clearly the day the Russian invaded. We were sitting in the garden when we first heard the tanks rolling down the street. Already that the same day our Zionist organizations had been banned Zionism was now deemed a crime, and the occupying forces tried to totally paralyze Zionist life.
I was fourteen years old when I learned what it meant to live under occupation. It was a somewhat grotesque situation. Many of our neighbors thought the Russian invasion to be lesser of two evils, compared to a possible German occupation. My parents also reacted ambivalently to the events. On the one hand, they said, better the Soviets than the Germans, better communist tan national socialism; better to remain alone that to be annexed like Poland and other countries. One consoled oneself with the thought that Russian was a power that could overwhelm the Germans in the case of emergency. (Adapted from No time for patience a memoir of a Holocaust survivor)
