Instructions:

1. Keep a record of all your spending over a 4-week period. Track everything you spend your money on (i.e., eating out, cups of coffee, out for drinks, groceries, rent, utilities, haircut, gas...)
2. Keep track of all expenses and compare to your income for the same 4 weeks.
3. At the end of the month create a COLOUR pie chart to illustrate the percentage you are spending in each category (SEE EXAMPLE BELOW).
