Budgeting Money

by Angel

I want to buy my son a PlayStation 5 for his birthday to give him his wish. I want to save money out of my check every month. The PlayStation 5 costs $449.99 plus $27.00 in sales tax. It costs a total of $476.99. Each month I need to save $60 from every check and put it in the savings envelope from February to September 19, my son’s birthday.

February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September = 8 months. 60*8= 480
