Start by writing down your take-home pay and the date of your next paycheck. List the bills due before then. Set aside those amounts first, along with essentials such as groceries and transportation.
Use a simple example. From a $1,600 paycheck, reserve $850 for bills, $300 for essentials and $150 for savings. That leaves $300 for flexible spending or a buffer. For a bill that falls just after the next payday, you can start setting some money aside now.
At the next payday, compare your plan with what you actually spent. Adjust the category where you consistently run short. The GGC Studios Paycheck Budget and Bill Tracker includes a paycheck plan, bill list, and savings tracker.
