Can you help me set up a budget for this month since I have been living paycheck to paycheck?

It is important to create a budget that works for you and your financial situation. To start creating your budget, it is helpful to make a list of your monthly expenses, including rent, utilities, food, transportation, loan payments, and any other necessary expenses. Then, track your income and subtract the expenses to create a budget that works with your finances. Make sure to consider creating a cushion or emergency fund as well to prepare for any unexpected future expenses. Finally, review your budget regularly to ensure it is still realistic and working for you.
