EXPENSES
AND BUDGETS
Many
people are afraid of budgets. However, a budget is just a piece of
paper
with columns and lines. It can be your friend and it doesn't bite.
Before you can budget your money, you need to list the things that
you spend money on. That list is called and Expense Sheet. Take time
to make a list for yourself. Following
are a few examples of things you might want to include.

Maintenance of household items
Utilities - electricity, telephone, etc
Food
Insurance - household, car, etc...
Transportation - repairs, gas, etc...
Children - child care, school fee, etc...
Clothing and grooming for the family
Health and medical expenses
Entertainment
