More Help on Budgets

Say you are given a weekly allowance of $10.00.  With your allowance you must pay for things such as snacks, magazines etc. and you also have to save some for things you may want.  If you make a budget, it will help you organize your money when you are buying something.  If you buy something you put it on your budget.  You will find out how much money you have left, how much money you have spent, and how much you have to spend.  You should organize things in your budget so that you have money you spend, money you save, and money you make.  Sometimes a budget is harder then it looks.  Your allowance is your income.  Here are some examples of things you might want to put in your budget:

                Snacks   $0.75

                Movies/video rental  $3.00

                Magazine   $2.00
