How does one go about setting up a budget for personal finance?
assistant
Setting up a budget for personal finance involves calculating your income, expenses, and debts. You should set a goal of how much you need to save each month, and factor in all fixed expenses such as rent, utilities, and insurance. You should also consider discretionary spending such as entertainment and dining out. Once you have the total of all your income and expenses, you can create a budget that allocates money to each expense and defines how much money you can save. Tracking your spending and adjusting your budget as needed is also important.
