Income

Where do you get your money from? Figure the reliable sources first and think of this as your foundation. Figure out exactly how much you make per month, and be sure to take out the taxes, insurance, or things that are automatically deducted (some people have direct deposit from work into a savings account, for example). Then take this total monthly amount and divide it by 31 to see what you make day-by-day (and not just for the days you're working or whatever).

With your non-reliable sources of income, write down what you expect to get and when you'll get it, but since it isn't something you can depend on, don't factor this into your daily/monthly value, yet.

Once you have an idea of your monthly/daily income, we can start to think about expenses.
