as vs because

[goodstudent]

1) I have stopped for some time as I ran out of budget

2) I have stopped for some time because I ran out of budget

Which one is correct? Which one is better?

 

[MikeNewYork]

Neither. Use either "funds" or "money" for "budget". One can exceed one's budget, but one cannot run out of one's budget.

You can use either "as" or "because".

 

[goodstudent]

Is it right to say "I will buy it once I have the budget."

 

[MikeNewYork]

Possibly, but why are you hung up on the word "budget"

 

[goodstudent]

Just trying to understand how to use the word budget correctly. There are many sentences that says "I have the budget"

Is "I will buy it once I have the funds/money." better/more correct than "I will buy it once I have the budget."?

Is "I will buy it once I have the funds/money." better/more correct than "I will buy it once I have the budget"?

Yes, it is.

Or 'I'll buy it once I can afford it'.

The word 'budget' has more to do with managing money than being a simple replacement for the word 'money'.
