budget constraint
Financial boundary limit
A budget constraint is the limit on what someone can afford given their income and the prices of goods.
In economics, it defines all possible combinations of purchases available at a given spending level.
The concept extends beyond money: time, resources, and attention all impose budget constraints on choices.
