How to Use

1. Start with the Month and Year:

• Write the current month and year at the top so you can easily reference your plan later.

2. Fill in the Monthly Calendar:

• Use the large calendar grid to mark important dates — such as paydays, bill due dates, or savings goals.
• Jot down notes or reminders directly in each day’s box to visualize when money comes in and goes out.

2. Track Your Income

• On the top-right, list every income source (paychecks, side gigs, etc.) with the corresponding date and amount.
• Add them up at the bottom to calculate your Total Income for the month

3. List Your Bills and Expenses

• In the Bills/Expenses section, record each recurring or one-time cost.
• Include the due date, expense name, and amount.
• Use the “Paid” column to check off payments once they’re completed.
• Sum these at the bottom for Total Bills/Expenses.

5. Compare Income vs. Expenses

• At the bottom, subtract your Total Bills/Expenses from your Total Income to find your Income Remaining.
• This helps you see how much money is left for savings, debt repayment, or extra spending.

6. Set Financial Goals

• Use the Goal(s) section to write down 2–3 specific financial goals for the month (e.g., “Pay off credit card,” “Save $200,” or “Track all grocery spending”).

7. Add Notes and Observations

• The Notes section is perfect for reminders, reflections, or adjustments for next month (like recurring subscriptions, upcoming bills, or changes in income).
