1. Start by looking at your current income.
2. Make a list of all the basic expenses you have, such as rent, groceries, gas, utilities, etc.
3. Create a budget for your non-essentials based on the percentage of your income that is left after covering the necessary expenses.
4. Track your spending to make sure you stay within your budget.
5. Adjust your budget as needed.
