Once you have figured out your average expenses in your new environment, set up a budget plan focusing on. How much money you want to save after every paycheck? How much of your salary will go towards fixed expenses, cell phone, internet, transportation, utilities, etc. How much money you want to spend on leisure and entertainment?
