bank accounts, credit cards and insurances papers - anything to do with
your personal finances. These details will be needed to start your
budget.

interest.

item under headings such as:
* Home: mortgage or rent.
* Association and professional fees.
* Insurance: health, motor vehicle, home, contents and life
* Education costs
* Day care and child care
* Loans: car loan, student loan, bank fees and interest

* School lunches, household supplies, car maintenance, internet
service, dry cleaning, monthly parking.
5.) Other expenses. Personal everyday expenses covering: lunch at work,
snacks, coffee, drinks, newspapers, magazines, batteries, postage.
Family and personal allowances: parties, entertainment, weekend outings,
movies, concerts, other entertainment and events, home improvements and
decorating, magazine and other subscriptions, dining out and fast food.

manicures, hair care, alterations, shoe repair, personal and family
gifts, gardening, film processing, video rentals, sports and gym,
donations, computer software and other related items.
6.) Once you have all your expenses listed add the total expenses and
deduct these from your income. You will need to convert everything to
monthly or weekly. This means that bills that are paid once a year must
be divided by 12 to get the monthly figure.
7.) Do you need to tweak your budget? When you deducted the expenses from
your income was there any money left or did you find your expenses were
more than your income? If your situation is the latter you will need to
do some tweaking. The commitments cannot change. As for necessities you
may be able to cut down on food expenses and find cheaper providers of
utilities or try to save costs by being conscious of switching off
lights etc. But it is the other expenses category that has the most
capacity for tweaking as many of them are not needed and can be reduced
or cut out. Review your budget regularly to make sure it is still
working for you.
