Hey y’all! It’s your girl back again with some tips on how to keep your finances in check. I know it can be tough out here, but we gotta stay on top of things!
Check out this FREE Budget Sheet!
Okay, let’s talk about this budget sheet real quick. First of all, it’s free. Can’t beat that, right? But more importantly, it can help you get a handle on your finances. I know it can be overwhelming to try and keep track of everything, but having a budget sheet like this can make things a lot easier.
How to use the Budget Sheet:
At the top of the sheet, you’ll see spaces to fill in your income. This includes any money you bring in from your job, as well as any side hustles or other sources of income. You’ll also fill in the amount of money you have in savings.
Next up, you’ll fill in your expenses. This includes things like rent/mortgage, utilities, car payment, groceries, etc. Basically, any money you spend on a regular basis.
Once you’ve filled in all your income and expenses, you’ll subtract your expenses from your income. Hopefully, you’ll have some money left over! This is your “disposable income,” which you can use for things like going out to eat, shopping, or saving for a vacation.
Why a Budget Sheet is Important
I know budgeting isn’t the most exciting thing in the world, but trust me when I say it’s important. Having a budget can help you:
- Stay on top of your bills
- Save money for emergencies
- Avoid debt
- Reach your financial goals (like saving for a new car or a down payment on a house)
