Budgeting Expenses

Creating a Budget

How far back should we analyze our spending patterns?

The more data you use, the more accurate your budget will be. And the key is to be as accurate as you can. So it’s best to use at least one month of expenses, but at least six months is preferable. Write down how you are spending your money no matter how small the purchase.
