Hey want to start saving a little something but can’t get started?
Making a budget doesn’t have to be painful. A Budget is just a plan for how you’re going to the money you have coming in for the expenses you have going out.
Write your savings plan down
Pay yourself first (otherwise there is never anything left over)
Stick with it (if you fall off, start again)
Go Digital (use your phone to keep track of expenses, Ipad etc)
Keep it simple ( make it an easy plan for starter)
Ask for help (Non profit counseling services, on line help)
Calculate your Debt to Income Ratio (DTI) = Total amount of monthly bills divided by Monthly Net income.
Try to always live on less than 50%.
