Take Home Pay:

Make sure you know how much your take home pay is each month. The easiest way to determine it is to better understand your paycheck so you can have a better picture.

Know The Formula:

Once you have your take home pay then it’s time to apply the formula. Simply multiply your amount by 5%. For instance, if you’re net pay is $5,000 each month then your eating out budget should be $250 for your family.

How To Start Your New Budget Amount:

There are a few ways you can transition to your new budget. One way is to simply keep track of your spending on an envelope or check register to make sure you don’t overspend. My favorite way for beginners or those that struggle with overspending is to withdraw cash from your account each month. That way you force yourself to use cash for eating out and will prevent yourself from overspending.
