I have found paper/pencil works the best for me but good breakdown for categories. Definitely agree I rarely use any credit cards unless I know can payoff the next day in full-just paid off all my debt last year so I’m pretty careful with avoiding any debt now.
I input my transactions as soon as I make a purchase! Becuase I forget what things were for even after a couple of days 😅 But the only thing I'm a little confused about is what if you make purchases on your credit card (assuming you don't have debt) for the rewards and all. How do you track it in your budget? Like if I bought some shoes with my CC do I log it in as a clothing expense in the budget? Or do I just add debt to my CC at the top? Or do I do both? I also like to pay the credit card off by transaction sometimes instead of doing it at the end of month. Also do you check/log your debt totals at the end of the month (last day of the month) instead of the beginning? Becuase I feel like it could fluctuate during the month.
You should be able to updated the currency formatting or remove it all together. I do my forecasting by paycheck and don’t use currency formatting (other than the decimal and thousandth indicators) since I know the sheet is about finances.
I trued to access rhe spreadsheet using the link you provided. I entered my namevand email address and it is saying my submission has failed due to an error. Is there any way you can help me gaim access. I am not sure how/what the error could be on my end.
I have signed up and tried to download the template but all I see is an instruction to copy it, rename it, and save it to my Drive. when I do that and try to open it, it is the same instructions. I see the tabs at the bottom now. goofy me.
You are supposed to give us 30 seconds to log off to avoid spoilers…. Geez someone doesn’t listen to Grace Randolph. That said… fun money… what sorcery is this?
Link to the free budget template that I used in this video: bit.ly/toolkit2AvHZS6
The link to the free budget only took me to your tool kit that requires payment. Is your budget template no longer free?
Im getting the same.
Thank you for speaking and sharing with EVERYDAY people. Excellent job.

Loved your video, thank you for sharing.
I love this❤️ but how do you add extra cells for “Future” for example? I can’t figure it out 😭
Are you tracking individual expenses else where? Or just looking at statements and then combining amounts into categories

Where would you put doctor's visits or monthly medicine?
I would put it under a prescriptions budget or you could include a healthcare category under fixed if you have regular appointments and prescriptions.
How can I change the currency? I'm not from America so we don't use dollars but I'd like to use this template. ❤

Solid advice Justine! Thank you for this!
You're welcome!

Don't click on the link for the free template. It's click bait.
nothing worse than a grifter claiming free but isn't actually free.
