When it comes to parenthetical citations, I am going to assume that you are using MLA guidelines. If so, it is only necessary to cite the author's last name, followed by the page number, with no parentheses between them. The last choice is the only one that just gives the last name, so it is correct.
Creating a budget is the best way to initiate a balanced lifestyle. By evaluating what you want to spend, and determining what's important from what's not important is the first step to starting a budget. Creating a budget helps you stay in plan with achieving long term goals. Like maybe you want to save up money to buy a house one day, so you create a budget so you only spend what is necessary, and save what you want to put towards the house. Creating a budget is a great lifetime tool.
