Good Morning, Students!
Surplus refers to the amount by which income or revenue exceeds expenses or costs over a specific period, reflecting positive financial performance. It indicates that an individual, business, or government has accumulated more financial resources than are necessary to meet their current obligations and operating costs. These surpluses can be strategically reinvested to generate future growth, saved as a financial buffer for unforeseen needs, or allocated to fund new projects, initiatives, or expansions.
Put your surplus into savings or investments to secure future financial freedom.
