Step One: Create a budget. You can use a spreadsheet, budget software, online budget tools, or a pencil and paper. Remember, to create a budget, you enter income and calculate the total, enter the expenses and calculate the total, and subtract the expenses from the income.
Step Two: It is now the next month, May. The Spencers have spent money and earned another month's worth of income. Update your budget with the following expenses in May. Keep the original expenses.
ExpensesMay
short-term savings$0
long-term savings$0
rent/insurance$700
car payment$350
utilities$140
tv/cable$100
cell phones$100
clothing$230
entertainment/recreation/eating out$260
credit card (balance=$1200)$50
miscellaneous expenses$130
Step Three: Answer the following: In what areas did the Spencers overspend? What changes would you make to their spending?
Step Four: You probably noticed that the Spencer family is not putting money in their savings account. This would be a good idea since their financial goal is to buy a house. Make adjustments to the budget so that they have money going into short-term savings.
