I think its important because your income is usually set so you must know your fixed and flexible expenses. If its flexible you can change the amount you spend on it if you need to.

It is important because you should know your income so you dont over spend on the expenses. Flexible expenses can change so you dont go over the income you make, but the fixed expenses are all the same all the time so there for you cant change those expenses.

Income is the amount of money you will have. A flexable expense is an expense you can lower or cut out of your budget. A fixed expense is an expence that you have and must pay each month. It is important to know the difference between these so you can keep track of your money.

Income is the money that you have, like your pay check. Fixed expenses are things that will be paid with the same amount of money every month. Flexible expenses are things that can change every month. It is important because you need to know how much money you have and where that money is going.

When dealing with a spending plan, it is very important to distinguish between income and flexilble and fixed expenses. The reasoning is that your income is used towards all expenses. Flexible expenses can be adjusted to increase the percent of income you have, while fixed expenses can not.
