I'm going to keep this section short, demonstrating only two types of LaTeX lists: enumerate and itemize.
The followiong code creates the numbered list (graphic) after it.
\noindent Numbered lists:
\vskip.1in
\begin{enumerate}
\item Rent
\item Credit
\item Utilities
\end{enumerate}
The followiong code creates the bulleted list (graphic) after it.
\noident Unnumbered lists:
\vskip.1in
\begin{itemize}
\item Rent
\item Credit
\item Utilities
\end{itemize}
