    Note

    The verb form keeps both of budget's verb patterns. With an object, it means setting money or time aside for something: budgeting more funds, budgeting our time. Without one, it means drawing up the budget itself: the council is still budgeting. Compare it with the noun for the activity. The verb form takes objects and adverbs (budgeting carefully), while the noun takes adjectives (careful budgeting).

    Budgeting carefully for repairs saved the council money.
