Let's face it, creating a household budget is probably not at the top of your 'to-do' list but it is a necessity, especially in these tough economic times.  Determining where monthly paychecks go can help rein in bad spending habits and create new, fiscally friendly ones.

To start, financial planners suggest you gather a year's worth of bills and loan payments to create a complete picture of your expenses.  It may sound like an insurmountable task, but if you're already paying your bills online then you've already cut your organizing time in half.  Make a list and assign each to a category, such as groceries, utilities, mortgage, auto, and entertainment.  Be sure to note when your spending increases throughout the year, such as around holidays or annual vacations.

Next, determine fixed and variable expenses.  Fixed expenses have little to no change each month, such as mortgage or rent, car payments, or cable bills.  Variable expenses change monthly -- groceries, gas, or personal expenses such as morning coffee runs. (aka the Latte Factor).

Once you've sorted your expenses and calculated a monthly average, figure out your monthly income by checking your paystubs and other sources of revenue.  Ideally, your expenses should not be greater than your income.  Your ultimate gold is to create a "zero-dollar budget" to see exactly where each dollar of your income goes.  The money left over should be put into a savings account or used to pay down credit card debts.

When you're through with this exercise, look for ways to build an emergency fund.  Consider putting aside enough for three to six months's living expenses (although in tough time a year would be better).  If this number is too daunting, set a goal for  smaller amounts, like $1,000 to $3,000.

Just a few moments ago, President Obama signed a bill extending and expanding the homebuyer tax credit.

The federal government has officially extended the tax credit for first-time home buyers, and expanded the tax credit to include existing homeowners who qualify.

The amendment extends the tax credit through April 30, 2010, with an extension of 60 days available if a binding contract is in place prior to the deadline. The $8,000 credit will be extended to income limits from $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers to $125,000 and $225,000. Also included in the amendment is a $6,500 tax credit for existing homeowners who have lived in their current residences for at least five years. The home’s purchase price must be below $800,000.
