Budgeting - Getting Started

One of the first steps to get started budgeting is tracking your current spending. Check The Budget is a great place to do this. All you have to do is start entering transactions. As you enter your transactions, you can assign the money to the appropriate budget category. After a month or two, you will have a good idea about how much you are spending in each budget category. From that point, you can begin to adjust your spending in these categories to better reflect your plans, values, and goals.
