CONSUMERS @WORK PRESENTS:
$ Budgeting
· What is a budget? A budget is a spending plan you create based on your income and monthly expenses.
· Why should I budget? Without a budget, do you really know where your money goes?
· What are your financial goals? Whether you want to pay off all your debt, or save for an emergency fund or a vacation, you need a plan. Keep in mind your budget will change as your life changes.
· How do I start a budget? Begin by tracking your most important monthly bills—those that are important to maintain your lifestyle and those you must pay to protect and increase your credit score.

Next Steps
· Set up direct deposit at work so your paycheck is always deposited on time.
· Use your financial institution’s online bill pay to set up on time and automatic payments of all your bills in your budget.
· Review each bill in your budget to find extra cash. Do you need premium cable channels? Is there a cheaper cell phone plan you could get? Could you refinance your home to a lower interest rate and payment?
