The best way to set up a budget is to determine your income sources and expenses, then track your spending regularly. Start by creating a budget that outlines how much money you expect to bring in each month and how much you will need to spend on essential expenses like housing, bills, groceries, transportation, and debt repayment. Create a breakdown of non-essential spending and decide how much of your income should go toward separate categories like leisure activities, dining out, and shopping. Finally, make sure to reevaluate your budget periodically to make sure it is working for you.
