budget: a plan for saving and spending
expenditure: the amount of money spent
necessity: an item that a person must have, such as housing, clothing, or food
luxury: an item that offers physical comfort or enjoyment but is not necessary for life and health.
1. Classify each of the following expenditures as a necessity or a luxury. If any item can be considered either a necessity or a luxury, depending on the situation, classify it as either.

a. Auto insurance
b. Clothing for school
c. Concert tickets

e. restaurant in town Groceries
f. Music downloads
g. Medical treatment for strep throat

Food (including groceries, meals
out, and snacks) $
Rent and utilities (monthly payment = 4) $

transportation, etc.) $
Personal care items $
Other $
Total Weekly Expenditures $
5. Subtract your total expenditures from your weekly income.
6. Revised budget
At the end of the week, did you have any money left? Or did you spend more than you earned? If you want to make better use of your money, take a look at how you're spending it and decide where you can trim expenditures. You may find that you could be spending your money on something you really want.
