## Budget check Build a realistic monthly budget from my actual numbers. - Monthly take-home pay: [text: e.g. $4200] - Budget method: [dropdown: 50/30/20, Zero-based, Pay-yourself-first] - Where my money goes now: [textarea: List regular expenses with rough amounts] Use the chosen method as the frame, but bend it where my numbers make the textbook split impossible, and say where and why you bent it. Show a table with each category, the current amount, the suggested amount, and the difference. If the expenses exceed take-home pay, say so before anything else. Finish by naming the single change that would free up the most money and how much it frees per month.
