Creating your first budget

I mentioned this tool sometime ago after our team finished developing it, but the more I talk about it with others the more I realized how effective this is for people who are new to budgeting. So, what is it?

It's Dave Ramsey's Gazelle Budget Lite. It's not the full blown version, but what it does is allow you to simply plug in your monthly income and quickly see what a budget would look like based on the percentages Dave would recommend. If you have never done a budget before, this might be a good starting point. I'm proud of this little tool, so I thought I would share it. Go ahead and try it.

You can also get access to this tool at www.DaveRamsey.com, where you can learn more about Dave and his principles on dealing with money.
