Now that I have a server and bartender my cash on a regular basis, and is a bit 'hard for me to say how much I would be if every time I do the job. This budget is the income up to $ 2,500 to take home. This is considered a month to low income and my bills for me, which I appreciate, are the estimates are high.
This allows some extra at the end of the month, so I save more money and maybe buy somethinggood to me. I stick to it with discipline and use a system of envelopes. I have a bad habit of spending money when I know I've got so much what I do I allow myself a lot of trouble this week for the little things.
This is usually around $ 15. Then every night when I get home from work I get what I deserve, and I put them in envelopes. I have one for each category. At the end of the week I had to make changes when I have more than expected this week. Usually these adjustments arepaying a bill prior to or need to save more money.
In this way they can stay in my budget to cover me and if a bad week, they are not in force.
Well, if you paid by check, then you have a much better idea of what you can do for you. I suggest that the budget on the basis of average working week, if not 40 hours, and when overtime is only half for 40 hours. Treat as an extra save overtime and use itsome entertainment, and save a bit 'more.
Preparing a budget is not difficult, but you must be there to stay disciplined. Learn to prepare a budget and you will be very glad you did.
