How to establish a budget
How I did it: It's made alot easier if you have a bank that offers online banking. You can go online and track your expenses, and figure out where you're spending money. Then you can add up rent, utilities, how much you usually spend on gas, groceries, amenities, if you have any direct withdraw things, you can make sure you're familiar enough with your own budget and bank account that you'll know to keep enough money in your checking account to allow for those things. Eventually, you can figure out how much you need to make each month, where to cut expenses and splurges, and start figuring out how to put a bit of money away each month, and save that up towards the bigger things you really want!
