This must actually be on paper (or on an excel spreadsheet, as is the case in the Right-Click household), and you must do it even if your income is fluctuating because of self-employment. My future articles will discuss this step by step, but for now, please see this link to get an idea of how to do this.

It needs to be a goal that both partners are working towards. The main rule is that no money gets spent in your household without being on that budget sheet, and that the budget is something that you are looking at each month, keeping up with, to make sure you’re staying on the road to financial peace.
