Budgeting

The budgeting worksheet below is all very self explanatory really. This is designed to help us grasp exactly where our money is going to and find out if it is what we expect. This can then set us up nicely to pin-point areas where we can lower our costs.

I have left quite a few expenses items spaces empty for any other costs we have that aren't on the list.

How to use:

1. Simply fill in all expected expenses for the coming month.
2. Check the reality at the end of the month by finding out what we actually spend. 
3. Of course, the spreadsheet has formula so totals will automatically update.
4. The notes section can be handy when we are creating our following months budget. Ideas to spend less may help us budget more wisely.
5. My favourite thing about using this worksheet is there is always one or two little surprises or realisations that pop up. I Hope it can be useful for you too.
