Creating Your Budget
Page 4 of 12
Your budget may look something like this.
Remember, your budget should reflect your financial priorities and your lifestyle. Use a tool, like our interactive Budget Worksheet (PDF) to develop a spending plan that’s a perfect fit for your lifestyle. Using the categories you created when you started tracking your spending, add or delete categories in the worksheet to personalize your spending plan. Be sure to include expenses that don’t occur on a monthly basis, like property taxes and insurance.
If you prefer another format, additional budget worksheet options can be found at Bankrate.com or PracticalMoneySkills.com, among other websites.
