Pulling Back the Curtain on Monthly Budgets

This month I am pulling back the curtain on monthly budgets! Have you ever wondered how much of your budget should go to food, mortgage, cars, etc.? 

Today I am going to spill the beans on those exact numbers!

Many times clients come to me without any sort of budget in place. They truly make buying decisions based on the account balance in their phone app. If this is you–not to worry–help is on the way!

Today, I will share a potential budget for a family with a monthly take home pay of $7,000. You can dial this up or down based on your actual numbers, but it will give you a sense for a workable budget. 

Let’s Jump In!

Take Home Pay = $7,000/month

 

 

Even with ten percent allocated towards giving, they still have an additional $1,050 per month to save or to invest! They are making an impact with their money, and are still able to get ahead.

 

Now it’s your turn!

 

 

Feel free to print out this pdf so that you can put pen to paper, and add in your specific numbers. If you get stuck, or want more clarity on your budget, simply connect with me on social media and I will be happy to help.

 

To your success!

Crystal
