One of the many benefits of Excel includes the capability to create a personal budget. Budgets include income and expenses. For this assignment, you are to create a 3-month personal budget.

Create your own personal 3-month budget in an Excel workbook. Using real numbers is not necessary (nor is it encouraged for privacy reasons). Generate this workbook from scratch by using a standard layout and structure for the budget workbook. Do not use an Excel template; however, you are welcome to refer to a template for guidance in creating your workbook.

Start with a relevant title and put your name in the subtitle 

Add column headers for the months.

1. In column A, add a label for Income. Under Income, list the job (or jobs) that you will be using).

4. Leave a couple of blank rows, then in column A, add a label (Expenses) before listing the cost of housing (rent or mortgage) and appropriate utilities (cable, Internet, phone, electricity, etc., and all other expenses you may wish to incorporate) for the three months.
