Here are the suggested budget percentages that I promised to post. For your specific situation, the percentages may need to be adjusted, although I would recommend your tithe to your home church remain a tithe, that is, 10%, since that is the Biblical guideline (cf. Malachi 3, Luke 11:42):
| CATEGORY | PERCENT |
| tithe | 10 |
| housing | 32 |
| food | 10 |
| auto | 10 |
| insurance | 5 |
| debts | 5 |
| school/child care | 5 |
| clothing | 5 |
| savings | 5 |
| medical/dental | 4 |
| entertain/recreation | 4 |
| misc | 5 |
| TOTAL | 100 |
