HOW TO: BUDGET your paycheck to make it LAST

When living paycheck to paycheck it can get hard to figure out what to pay first and what to prioritize last when your income pay not cover all your expenses. Here are a few ways to more easily go through a budgeting process to make that paycheck stretch when you get paid.

📆 COVER YOUR FOUR MAJOR NEEDS FIRST

Pay the most important bills first! Your utilities,transportation, food and rent/mortgage. These are things that always need to be covered first.

📆 CREATE YOUR MONTHLY BUDGET PLAN

List your expenses and create a budget that includes debt repayment. Prioritize what needs to be paid next after the 4 major bills.

📆 FIND WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR INCOME

A great way to help budget to pay off debt is increasing your income. Finding a side job like babysitting or door dashing would increase your income and allow your new gross income to cover all of your expenses easier. With multiple incomes you would collect your check stubs for each job and add them together to get your total gross income.
