NOTES:

1. If you do not own your home, substitute rent for mortgage. 
2. (Blue Numbers / $4,700) = .25 (housing ratio) 
3. (Blue Numbers + Green Numbers) / $4,700 = .37 (debt ratio) 
4. ($3,050 - $2,720) = $330 (disposable income)

 

Lastly, personal savings is not taken into consideration above, and one should try and save via their employer's 401k plan or deduct some savings in the worksheet above and consider it an "expense." (That is, plan on saving something.)
