4- Add up your Net Income

subsidies, etc. And then add the rest of your
income to know how much you bring home each
month. This will give you the rough idea of what
you might expect to earn in the next month. -

spending. By doing this you will get to know that
where you spend the most. There are two types of
expenses fixed and variable expenses. Fixed
expenses remain relatively stable each month,
while variable expenses fluctuate each month.

where it might be easiest to cut back.

stick to your budget and helps you to measure
your success or failure in meeting it. Whatever
your goal is, make sure you set a smarter goal
that is specific, measurable and achievable.

variable expenses you get a rough idea of where
to spend in the next month. As for variable
expenses you need to look at your past spending
habits as a guide. This is how you are going to
understand the things you need and things you
want.

expenses, it will cause you to think twice. When
