To run successful budget, introduce limits? (4,4,4)
I believe the answer is:
make ends meet
'to run successful budget introduce' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'limits?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'limits?' could be 'ends' (limit is a kind of end) and 'ends' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for make ends meet that I've seen before include "unite extremists" , "Keep the wolf from the door?" , "Get by financially" , "Just have enough income" , "Live within one's means" .)
