No problem!  \nEvery individual’s situation is different. You may be living independently, with roommates, or with your family, and may have a full-time or part-time job, be a fulltime or part-time student, or none of the above. If you do not have regular income at this time, try having a conversation with your parents about whether they would be willing to allot you a certain amount of money each week. This way you can begin to get experience handling money responsibly without having to wait for employment.  \nAnother option is to use online budget and money management simulations that provide financial education and experience without the risk of using real money. There are many educational videos and briefs online that give step by step instructions and tips on how to budget (see Additional Resources) .  \nMoney management is an important part of developing independence as a young adult. It can also impact future success and mental well-being. Put simply, budgeting involves calculating expenses (money you spend) and income (money you earn) and deciding ahead of time exactly how much money you will spend on different items and services. Budgeting can help prevent overspending  \nand will ensure that money is available for necessities like food or rent.  \nReward yourself for your successes! If you go the entire month following your budget successfully, it may be encouraging to do something fun that you don’t normally get to do, like plan a day trip, or buy something small, like a meal from your favorite  \nrestaurant or a new clothing item.  \nBudgeting Tips  \n Choose a Strategy Online Visual Aids  \nMany online tools are available to help with budgeting. Online tools offer a variety of ways to visualize your budget. Digital apps often combine automatic calculations and easy-to-read charts into the process, making budgeting easier to keep track of and easier to see. You can also visually track personal financial goals (paying off debt, saving fora car, travelling, etc.), which can help you to be motivated and achieve longer-term goals. Some of these apps can even be connected to a bank account, so expenses are automatically entered.  \nZero-based Budgeting  \nFinancial advisors like Dave Ramsey  \n( [https://www.daveramsey.com](https://www.daveramsey.com)[ ](https://www.daveramsey.com)[/](/)) recommend a “zero-based budget”, in which you subtract expenses from income until it equals zero. For zero-based budgeting, start by calculating how much money you earn in a month, whether that be through a part-time or full-time job, a regular allowance, or some other means. Subtract any basic needs, like groceries, rent, cellphone bill, school costs, etc.  \nThen assign the money that is left over to other places, such asa savings account or entertainment, until the balance is zero.  \nAnother strategy for budgeting is the envelope system. Put aside money for each spending category by using actual cash divided into labelled envelopes (for rent, food, utilities, transportation, etc.) . This allows you to see the money that is being spent and the money that remains. This is an especially useful strategy for those who may tend to overspend despite having a budget set up on paper. By physically seeing and touching how much money is left for things like groceries and entertainment, you have a more concrete way of visualizing your available money. When the envelope is empty, spending is impossible.  \n Keep it Consistent  \nOnce you create a budget, it can be helpful to stick to a consistent plan by saving the same amount of money each month or week and doing the same with spending. Turning your budgeting plan into a regular routine can help you remember your money management plan and become more comfortable sticking to it. Be sure budgeting becomes a part of your regular routin","cbCaijJhpL7HaTta","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijJhpL7HaTta","pdf",673806,"English","# Budgeting Basics\n## Getting Started Without Regular Income\n## Money Management and Why It Matters\n## Budgeting Tips\n### Choose a Strategy\n### Online Visual Aids\n### Zero-based Budgeting\n### Envelope System\n### Keep It Consistent\n### Watch Out for Scams","[{\"question\":\"What should someone do if they do not have regular income right now?\",\"answer\":\"Have a conversation with parents about whether they would be willing to allot a certain amount each week.
