Your budget should include all of your income and expenses. Your income includes your wages, salary, and any other money that you earn. Your expenses include your rent or mortgage, utilities, food, transportation, and any other money that you spend.

Once you have created a budget, you need to track your spending to make sure that you are staying on track.
