How can I create a budget for my family to determine how much I should spend each month?
assistant
Create a plan by listing all of your monthly expenses, such as housing, food, transportation, and any debt you have. Calculate the amount you need for each expense. Then add all of your expenses together, subtract that amount from your total monthly income, and the result will be the amount you should set aside for your budget each month. Make sure to be realistic with your budget and always factor in some room for unexpected expenses.
