You need to establish what your average income is before you can really budget. I use a small limit credit card ($300) to limit my spending. I litterally just 90% of my first paycheck in the month in savings, then pay all my bills; (Car/rent/CC) with my end of the month paycheck. I keep about a $200-400 in my checking for gas as my local gas station doesn't take CC.
