The difference between 'over budget' and 'over my budget.'

Hi teachers~

I would like to know the difference between 'over budget' and 'over my(the) budget.'

My understanding is that if somebody or something is overbudget, it means that people have spent more money than planned , and if something is over my budget, I can't afford it.

I am not sure... are they interchangeable? If yes, which one is more common?


Thank you in advance~~
