My proposed budget can cover all essential living expenses; including rent, utilities, groceries, and transportation. With some budget left over, I will still have enough for entertainment or leisure purposes. Once I have a steady income, I will begin debt replacement and making investments after meeting with my financial advisor friend from home. Hopefully, my investments will make it a long-term goal eventually, along with a down payment on a house. I am very stingy with money and I have expenses already, so my short-term spending habits make my goals harder. The salary range for a management position in my area and industry is an average of $75,000.
