8. Identify the total actual savings: 250
9. Identify the total budgeted debt: 100
10. Identify the total actual debt: 100
11. Calculate available to budget: 2200 - 1295 - 625 - 115 - 100 = 65
12. Calculate available to spend: 2600 - 1295 - 640 - 250 - 100 = 315
13. Calculate left to spend: 315 - 65 = 250
14. Verify the total actual income: 2600
15. Verify the total actual expenses: 1295 + 640 + 250 + 100 = 2285
16. Calculate remaining funds: 2600 - 2285 = 315
17. Confirm the available to spend is 315
