Drawing Up A Comprehensive Budget 

This step isn’t as complicated as it sounds.

Essentially, this process entails determining your monthly income, expenses, and of course debt, while totaling it up to generate your official income report.

To do this, you must first break down your expenses into categories.

1. Determine your monthly income

This is the first rational step.

Ideally, your monthly income is also your monthly budget.

Your salary, almonony income, government assistance checks, etc should all be totaled up to one singular number.

2. Calculate your essential living expenses

These basically include your mortgage or rent, transportation, medical expenses, and utilities.

3. Calculate your non-essential living expenses

Everyone wants to live a comfortable life so make sure you account for the optional things in your life such as vacations, pets, and holiday expenses.

4. Total up your debt

Now that your expenses are totaled, debt guides can help you begin figuring out how much you owe, from credit card debt to student loan debt to mortgages and more.
