Please create a budget of expenses using the expense sheet provided (on the next page). You must work with your WYSE partner to come up with a budget together. This budget must be agreed upon by both you and your WYSE partner. You do not have to purchase each expense listed; however you must create a reasonable living environment using the price list provided. Here is a list of expenses to be used for the exercise. The list is not exhaustive, and you can add one miscellaneous expense to your budget. You also can choose to not use each expense for your budget. Your monthly budget must create a liveable working environment that both you and your WYSE partner agree upon. Develop a Monthly Household Budget Level Housing Cost/Mo. Food Cost/Mo. Savings Cost/Mo.
