I bring in about $2500-3200 after taxes. (not a baller, but I get by)

Based off getting in $2500.

Rent: ~ 30%
Regular bills (phone, insurance, electric): ~15%
Variables (gas, food, etc) : ~20%
Savings: ~30%

5% is usually a buffer for an extra night out or stuff like that.

A paycheck means reporting to the IRS.

This one is easy for me, I just copy and paste my monthly budget. The revenue part is what we net. I contribute to my 40lk and my wife contributes to her pension, she works for the state. Every year we usually get about $5,000 when file our taxes and we use that for a vacation, so it is a way that I save for our annual vacation.
