Create Your
Spending Plan
Creating a spending plan and sticking to it is crucial to financial recovery. All of us approach money differently. Creating a spending plan based on what
you need vs. what you want has a huge impact on getting out of debt.
Creating a Spending Plan is simple…
Create—Create your plan based on necessary expenses and available income
(Keep track of income and keep track of expenses)
Balance—When your spending plan doesn’t balance out—review
which of your expenses can be reduced, or research options for increased income.
Implement—if you are unable to calculate exact expenses, estimate what you think your monthly expenses will be and then compare it to actual expenses at the end of the month. (This is why recording your expenses is crucial). Once you’ve got more realistic numbers you can re-evaluate your expenses versus income.
Spending plans are not just for tough times. Smart spending plans will change your financial future for years to come. A well thought out spending plan, one based on existing expenses and income (with an eye on the future) will get you out of bankruptcy and provide a new beginning for you and your family.
