Default Re: Finally have a budget, in the 'black'!

Black
A description of a positive balance on a company's financial statements.

Investopedia Says: The phrase "in the black" is widely used to refer to the condition of companies that have been profitable in their last accounting period. This term is derived from the color of ink used by accountants to enter a positive figure on a company's financial statements.
