3) Subtract the amount you were supposed to spend from the actual amount that you spent. Then add that number to the money that you put in your pocket.
a) Now, your dollar amount is starting to get tricky because after tax your number shouldn’t be an easy number to split like 10,000 was so make sure you are double checking your calculations!
b) Split the amount of money you have left once again. Remember to put the rest in your pocket to spend later.
