What do I do when I am running a budget deficit?

[Fidelia]

Imagine that one prepares a budget with a proximate forecast of funds that would come in. And the funds didn't come in as expected. The budget is deficit.

What should one do when they are on a budget deficit?

The best way to sort this out would be to either cut your expenses or increase your income. If possible for you to do both, then this is the better option.
