Estimate your income and your expenses. For your expenses, determine the things you NEED to pay (rent, utilities, food, etc.) and then budget what is left for other things (savings, entertainment, clothing, etc.).

It sounds bureaucratic but a governmental system is the first order of the day. Next is tax schedules to raise money for and implement the all-important infrastructure planning, water, sewer, electricity, roads etc.

Budget Creation 101\n\nGet a sheet of paper and list all your income on it at the top.\n\nThis is the order you will pay you bills in:\n\nNecessary expenses.  Shelter (mortgage/rent, utilities - electric, gas water - NOT cell phone, cable/satellite, internet), food (not fast food or restaurant food), clothing, transportation (gas, insurance - NOT auto loan), and savings for emergencies.  If you are here and have run out of money, you need to get another/better job.\n\nAfter this, discretionary spending.  Cable/satellite, internet, cell phone, fast food/restaurants, life insurance (necessary if you have dependents), auto maint (oil changes, registration), home repair/maint (if you own).  If you get to here and run out of money, it's time to start cutting things.\n\nFinally, debt.  Credit cards, student loans, auto loan.  List each loan separately from lowest balance to highest, including what the minimum payments are.  If you get to this point and run out, you either need to decrease some discretionary expenses or come up with more money (2nd job, yard sale or eBay, or sell the car and buy a cheaper one then use the 'profit' to pay debt).\n\nIf you don't tell your money where to go, it will still go.\n\nFor some sample budgets, check out Dave Ramsey's website.

One way I learned to make a budget was to save every receipt from everything I bought for one month, right down to fast food and gas. You may be suprised at what you spend money on. A little here and a little there adds up fast. Do that for a month and you can better write a budget for yourself.

First, you need some fresh ideas as to how the government should function. Second, you need a ton of cash. Third, you need to get the word out to the voting public (see second point). Fourth pray that it will only take a decade or so before you finally get someone elected to office.

Start by making a budget and stick to it you can not save money by accident you must do it on purpose. I think the best way to start is in a book written by Dave Ramsey called Financial Peace. He has written several books but that is the first and very good "More than enough" is his second book and very good also if you like the first. His books are available in any book store and many library's. Good luck to you.

In the beginning it is so much different b/c you are traveling to different places to network with people and figure out who's going to make what parts and then how they are going to get paid and when.  There is so much work that is done even before budgeting.  There surely needs to be some funding that can be tapped whenever to support the idea/business.  Depending on how big your funds are is what really determines your budget most of the time.  But when your looking to make money with a quality product, and not nesseccarily NOW (LOL), you have to sink what you have into it and then wait for it to catch on......word of mouth and from peoples peers are the top ways.  Plan out a time line of what you want to be and where in the next year and then break down your steps.  ex: Get a bunch of friends together and brain storm, search net to see where products can be ordered/made, plan trips accordingly, etc.  Planned things usually work better.

Have a clear goal/purpose for the organization.  Get experienced volunteers on board to help you. You will need by-laws as well as incorporating documents.\n\nDepending upon the state, you may be able to file through the mail or internet. Try corporation comission, tax board or other regulatory agency. Usually your state web site is the best place to start. Articles of incorporation can be very simple, just fill in the blanks. You may need to do a name search to make sure no one else has your organization's name.\nIf you wish to be tax exempt check with your state tax board and irs.gov.\nYou will have to meet different qualifications depending upon which type of exemption you are looking for.\nTake some time now and fill out all the paper work. Keep a calandar of what forms are due when.  Your organization will have yearly and possibly quarterly forms that they must fill out. Make everyone aware of this.\nIf you plan to have a small budget the expenses are low but even a larger organization should be under $500 or so.

You need and entire financial budget (budget means future projection) generally going out at least 3 years done on a monthly basis. \n\nI hope you have some accounting skills or you may have a hard time following this.\n\nYour goal is to produce an income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statment all for a minimum of three years, if looking for a loan from a bank or venture capital firm, they may require even larger time periods like up to 8 years out. Although 3 should be good for most investors, banks and even yourself.\n\nThere will be several pages to this budget, I suggest creating it in microsoft excel. \n\nFirst part\n\nOk first page of your budget is the sales budget. For every item or service you offer list it with its estimated number of sales followed by selling price then multiply to get the total. \n\nSecond part\n\nList the variable costs associated with each service or product budget just like above. The budget above is the exact same but instead of using selling price use variable cost,(cost of goods sole if product business, cost of services render if service budget) the cost you pay per item u sell. This budget will allow you to get to gross profit on sales.\n\nThird part\n\nList the rest of your expenses in any order but broken up like this, Start up expense budget (lists equipment, land, building, patents, trademarks, incorporation fees, anything associated as an expense that would be paid before your doors open that is not a usual expense, rent would not go here), Labor budget (lists employee costs, including your own pay), Occupancy buget (all costs associated with the building in which you do business like rent, property tax, utilities, and maitenance), marketing budget (all advertising costs like cost of copies for fliers, or yellow page ad's), then your operating budget (depreciation and amortization expenses, other fees or expnses not listed anywhere else that you may have). Always try to stay on the conservative side with estimates and not a bad idea to make a miscellaneous espense account to offset some places you may have underestimated. NOTE be sure costs do not overlap in the product/service cost budget on any of the expense budgets.\n\nFourth part\n\nThen from there you make you income statment, balance sheet and chash flow statemnt after you have all the accounting data. \n\nFifth part\n\nThen the last part is to make a list of the assumptions you made in the budgets preperation, like the consistent month over month growth you estimated in sales. what is that estimate, in percent terms? \n\nSuggested sixth part\n\nAlso you could make and income statement bar chart (I suggest you do) to show income versus expenses the income should be stedily growing with time and the expenses whould be fairly constant, but also growing evenly as time gose by, this bars should not be jumpy from month to month, you would look crazy if anyone saw it. \n\nOther tips/pointers\n\n(read option 6th part for pointers too) Oh, usualy anticipate a loss for the first year (income can exceed expenses in a months twords the end of the year but so long as the total for all months in first year is a loss). people will thing you don't know what you are taking about if you think you are so hot you can turn a profit off the bat.\n\nThis process take lots of time because you need to reseach your expenses to get accurate estimates, but it is really worth it even if you are just using it for personal reasons and not looking for an investor or a bank loan.

Good luck.  You'd need to decipher what the Department of Education spent at the federal level.  You'll have to figure out each state's budget.  Then you'll have to figure out at the local level for the whole state.  That's just the government schools.  I have no idea how you'd figure out how much civilian schools spend.  Would you could home schooling as worthless?
