Track you current spending patterns
Having a clear picture of your regular expenses and spending habits will help you build an effective budget. Start by tracking your current spending and review your spending habits over a two month period.
Record your income
Record all your income sources including the amount and frequency. This could be from:
- Wages
- Investments
- Rentals
- Alternate income sources – part time activities/jobs
Track your expenses
These include rental payment, mortgage payments, utility bills, household expenses like groceries and food, insurance premiums, school fees etc.
- Variable/unexpected expenses
These include unexpected expenses, like vehicle maintenance, additional fees, medical bills etc. You will not be able to budget for these, but it is important to track them so that you understand how much is being spent on such items.
These expenses include loan repayments/ installments; credit card bills etc.
Track your savings and start saving more
The money you have left after expenses and savings is your spending money. This money can be put away to achieve some of your goals and ‘wants’. Set up a spending limit so that you can maximise savings and reduce debt expenses.
You may conveniently track these items using an Excel sheet, which can provide valuable insights into your spending habits. Alternatively, we encourage you to explore our Budgeting and Money Management Tool available at the following link https://www.sc.com/ae/loans/debt-restructuring/
