For this assignment, build a monthly budget using whichever budgeting strategy makes the most sense for your life. You can lay it out in whatever way is most helpful, but please be sure to include a good amount of detail. You are not obligated to share specific details of your personal spending if you do not wish to, so for any items that you don't want to name directly, you can simply title that "recurring monthly expense." When you are building your budget, you can use your actual salary or, if you'd rather, you can use a salary of $35,000 a year, which would equal about $2,700 a month after taxes
