Budget Planning Sheet As you create your financial goals and budgets, imagine yourself as a 25 year old college graduate with an income of $3,000 a month.
 * 1) Open the Budget Template.
 * 2) Create a title for your budget in cells A1 and B1.
 * 3) Enter $3,000 for the Total Income in cell 2C.
 * 4) Research the Internet to find out how much you would most likely pay for these things. Then enter the following amounts into cells B4 through B13
 *  Housing:  Car Insurance:
 *  Phone:  Health:
 *  Utilities:  TV and Cable:
 *  Food:  Garbage:
 *  Internet:  Car fuel:
 *  Power:


 * 1) Use the AutoSum function to total the amount of the Fixed Expenses.
 * 2) Subtract the Total Income from the total Fixed Expenses amount by using a subtraction formula to find out how much money is left over.
 * 3) Take what you have left over and decide how much you will put in your savings account (you must put at least 10% of your money into the savings account).
 * 4) Subtract the savings amount from the left over amount using a subtraction formula.
 * 5) Choose which variable expenses you might spend the rest of your money on. Enter these items starting in Cell A20.
 * 6) Enter the amounts you would like to budget for each of these variable expenses starting with Cell B20.
 * 7) Use a subtraction formula after each variable expense you enter to keep a check on your budget amount. By doing this, you may need to change amounts as you go.
 * 8) Use the AutoSum function to total the variable expenses in the cell after your last variable expense amount.
 * 9) If you are over budget, you will need to go back and change some of your variable expense amounts. If you are under budget, you may put the extra amount into savings or add in to your variable expenses.
