Working out a
personal budget
A personal budget is an essential tool to help you tackle your debt
and credit card
problems. This section will help you work out how much you
have coming in and what you are spending. You can then see how
much you have left over to pay off your debts especially those high
interest rate credit cards. You can start
to record this information on a personal budget sheet.
