MONTHLY BUDGET EXAMPLE
In most cases, you’ll pay tuition and room and board once every semester, so we won’t include these expenses in the monthly budget template. You should know, from your annual budget, how much money you have to save during the year and each month to pay for your share of tuition and room and board, so we’ve included that as an expense in the monthly budget—you should think of it that way and put that amount of money in the bank each month.

WRITE IT DOWN! Keeping track of your expenses helps you see where the money is flowing and identify areas where you could cut down to either increase your savings or stay out of debt. You might have a brilliant memory and think you can remember what and where you spent, but we've found that it's so much more helpful to write things down. You can keep a simple paper log or, if you're computer savvy, use a spreadsheet program. And don't forget to write down your credit card expenses as well.
As you keep track of your monthly expenses, it might help to stick to the same categories you created in your budget—so a meal out would go into the Take-out/Going Out category.
