My Budget

Here it is! This is following the 50/30/20 model (although I have modified it).

Description Amount you should spend on must-haves (monthly income x .50): Amount you should spend on wants (monthly income x .20): Amount you should use toward savings/debt (monthly income x .30):
$1,021 $408 $612
Government Student Loan

$194.00
Rent $450.00

Water $35.00

Electric $75.00

Chase

$100.00
WF Student Loan

$50.15
Phone $65.00

Plane Tickets
$204.00
Gas
$50.00
Dining
$50.00
Zumba
$40.00
Car Insurance $18.00

Medical $25.00

Tithe

$204.00
Car Loan $250.00

Entertainment
$20.00
Food $100.00

Totals: $1,018.00 $364.00 $548.15

Total Expenses $1,930.15
Total Income 2042
Roommate 250
Extra w/ roommate $361.85
Extra w/o roommate $111.85

Credit Card Debt 1,172.71
Personal Debt 700
Car Loan 15000
WF Loan 2558.02
Gov Loan 16846.44
Total Debt: 36,277.17





So, from this, I can be debt free in 4 years (without interest...) if I pay $706 per month on debt repayment. Or if I pay $956 per month, I could be debt free in 3 years. I know that it's not accurate without the interest, but it makes me feel more secure having a plan with a time limit.
