Monthly Budget

Congratulations! You have just graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in your desired profession in the Finance career cluster. You are beginning your career in an entry-level position and are living in your own apartment with basic expenses such as electricity, water, and cable. You wish to make a major purchase (examples: car, house) and need to determine if you can afford a monthly payment. Create a budget to illustrate your monthly income less expenses to determine your net income in order to make an informed decision.
