Due today:

Refined Budget that brings your income down to "$0" for the end of the month (remember, this should not be living "Paycheck to Paycheck" scenario.  Rather, you should have money put away in the savings.   All of the information was found in the Budget Presentation (Link to it).   Make sure you support what you are doing in column "F" by answering the questions in that column.  I also need to see the "% of MONTHLY GROSS" which should be NET.  I will be grading this over the weekend.
