Our brains associate it with restrictions as opposed to seeing it for what it really is: a tool to understand how you spend your money. In the simplest form, it\u2019s a summary of your income and expenses. Budgets aren\u2019t about tightening your wallet, they are about understanding your finances.<\/p>\n<p>Where does your money come from? Where does your money go? I feel like I ask myself that last question all of the time. Having a monthly budget will make it easier to understand and track your spending habits. So the next time you ask yourself where all your money went, you\u2019ll have the answer.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-economy-idUSKBN23C0E9\">unemployment in the US at an all time high<\/a>, it\u2019s more vital than ever to have a solid foundation for your finances. The good news is that budgets don\u2019t have to be complicated. You can create a budget sheet at home without an expert by following a few basic steps.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_You_Need_a_Personal_Budget\"><\/span>Why You Need a Personal Budget<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even if spending and saving aren\u2019t issues for you, a budget is still a great tool to help you cut unnecessary costs. Setting up a summary of your expected income and expenses allows you to save even more money because you are able to physically see your spending patterns. <\/p>\n<p>With the amount of bills and automated payments everyone has, it\u2019s easy to look over the things that you don\u2019t really need. Maybe you pay for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/vb58ex\/theres-too-many-damn-streaming-services-study-finds\">five streaming services<\/a> but only really use one. By creating a budget sheet, you can minimize these expenses, and pave the way to reach your financial goals.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_Budget_Sheet_in_5_Steps\"><\/span>Create a Budget Sheet in 5 Steps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Everyone has their interpretation of what a perfect budget looks like, but truthfully it is up to you to decide what works for you.<\/p>\n<p>Upon reading guide after guide, it becomes clear that all of the steps to creating a budget are relatively the same. Before you start, figure out how you want to record your budget. Typically people use spreadsheets and set up their budgets to reflect their monthly spending. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nerdwallet.com\/blog\/finance\/free-budget-spreadsheets-templates\/\">free templates<\/a> you can use to input information or you can start with a basic spreadsheet and adjust the formatting as you move forward.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rebatekey.com\/storage\/app\/media\/cropped-images\/cropped-images\/shutterstock_298197092-0-0-0-0-1591976077.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Gather_all_of_your_financial_information\"><\/span>Step 1: Gather all of your financial information<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We are talking bank statements, paystubs, utility bills, insurance bills \u2013 basically any documentation you can find where you are either spending money or making money. A lot of this information probably lives online as well.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Add_up_your_income\"><\/span>Step 2: Add up your income<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first part of a budget is knowing how much you make. It\u2019s easiest to break down your budget into monthly increments. So, you need to know how much money you take in every month. When recording this number, focus on the net pay, after taxes.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Add_up_your_expenses\"><\/span>Step 3: Add up your expenses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After you figure out how much you make, you need to know how much you are spending. Check the documents you\u2019ve gathered and your credit card statements to record monthly expenses.<\/p>\n<p>You can separate these expenses into fixed payments that do not change month to month, like rent, and variable payments that change based on your needs, like grocery shopping. As you start to keep a record of these payments, you can estimate how much you\u2019re spending on the variable costs each month, by averaging them out. For example, although your grocery receipts each have a different total, you may find that you spend about $300 a month on food in general. <\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to include annual payments and automatic deductions in your summary.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Calculate_your_savings\"><\/span>Step 4: Calculate your savings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you have averaged out your monthly income and expenses, now you can figure out how much you\u2019re saving. To do this, simply subtract your expenses from your income. Ideally, you are left with money at the end of each month that you can then allocate into savings or future investments.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Review_and_adjust_your_budget\"><\/span>Step 5: Review and adjust your budget<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you did step 4 and came up with a negative number, now is the time to adjust your spending habits. This completed budget summary will make it easy to figure out where you can cut costs and what you should prioritize. You can also choose to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalance.com\/how-many-budgeting-techniques-can-you-choose-from-453627\">follow a budget method<\/a>, like the 50\/30\/20 method, that will set you up with an efficient way to save.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the month, you want all of your money to have a place so that your budget is balanced. The money left over after subtracting your expenses should be allocated into their own spending categories, like an emergency fund or savings for a specific goal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Budgets_Arent_a_One_Time_Only_Thing\"><\/span>Budgets Aren\u2019t a One Time Only Thing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Creating a budget summary is a great start, but to truly be successful, you need to continue tracking your spending and income. Once you have a template in place, you can easily plug in the numbers every month and reassess. There are also tons of <a href=\"https:\/\/papersowl.com\/discover\/best-budgeting-apps\">apps that will track your budget<\/a> for you and help you visualize your spending habits.<\/p>\n<p>Budgets aren\u2019t bad, and they don\u2019t have to be restrictive. In fact, creating a monthly budget will give you more freedom in spending and saving. When you understand your finances, you will be able to set goals and easily achieve them.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Save even more money every month by buying products and gifts on RebateKey.
