What is budget and how it works?

What is a good budget for a senior in high school that works part time?

• I am a senior in high school and I work part-time. I'd say in a month I make anywhere from $200-$350 and I spend way too much of it. I need gas for my car to drive to school and work and that usually costs about $30 a week and the rest of the money I make pays for food (random junk food). How can I curb my spending so that I can save up money for college? What should my budget for gas, food and savings be?

• Answer:

  Walk or ride a bike as much as possible, eat at home more often, and dont spend money on things you dont need.
