2 Step 4: On Reflection My monthly income of $6,200 and monthly expenses of $5,078, leaving me with $1,122 for savings and emergencies. However, it is important to note that this amount may not be sufficient for unexpected expenses. Experts recommend having at least three to six months' worth of living expenses saved in an emergency fund. I should consider setting up a dedicated savings account for emergencies and contributing to it regularly, even if it is a small amount. It may also be helpful to re-evaluate the budget and see if there are any areas where expenses can be reduced to increase savings. For example, I may want to consider reducing their entertainment or food expenses. Sticking to a budget can be challenging, but it is important to prioritize saving for emergencies to protect oneself from unexpected financial setbacks . $400 $240 $2,000 $400 $720 $50 $98 $20 $150 $1,000 Chart Title Transportation rent Food clothing Entertainment health insurance retirement phone credit student loan utility bills
