Do you know where your money is going? Do you have a plan to save money for the future?
We want to help you answer yes to both of those questions!
In order to get started, you have to find out where you are at this moment. You start by adding up all of your income, and then calculating all of your expenses (what you spend money on each month), and finally subtracting the two numbers. That way you can see if you have any money leftover for savings, and you can see where you need to adjust your budget to plan for big purchases or vacations in the future.
Use our handy worksheet to calculate your first budget, and then adjust it each month to fit your lifestyle needs.
