Creating a Budget

Step I: Internet Activity

Many Internet sites provide information about creating a budget.  Find two helpful sites and record their web addresses in an electronic document like MS Word.  Next to each address, describe three pieces of helpful information that you found on that website.

Step II: Budget Activity

Now it's time for you to complete your own budget.  Download the budget spreadsheet and fill in your own numbers. Notice that there are two sheets: monthly budget and yearly budget. The formulas have been included on both spreadsheets, so as you update your information on the monthly sheet, the numbers (e.g totals) should change. Also, a pie graph has been created and as you input your numbers, the pie graph should change.

Once you have completed both parts of this assignment, submit it to the dropbox.
