It’s amazing how much money you “lose” by not keeping track of where you spend. If you aren’t currently tracking your finances, you are losing the opportunity to know how much money you are spending vs how much money you COULD be saving. You will always know where you stand with your money and your goals if you use one. Budgeting is the most effective way to keep track of your finances. There’s room to write the category and our budgeted amount for that category at the top of the page.A study by US Bank shows that only 41% of Americans use a budget. We print one tracking sheet for each variable spending category in our budget (groceries, clothing, eating out, entertainment, etc.). If you prefer not to use the cash envelope system or would rather track your expenses in a binder, we have printable pages for that too! This printable acts like a checkbook register to help us keep track of our purchases. This will give us a running log of how much we’ve spent and how much we have left to spend in each category. From there, each time we make a purchase from that category, we use the chart to note the date, description of the purchase, the amount, and the remaining balance. Then we write our budgeted amount in the “starting balance” space. After printing the tracking sheet, we can cut them out and use tape or glue dots to secure them to the front of each envelope.Īt the top of each tracking sheet, there is space to write the category of the cash envelope. We can then secure it with tape or glue dots. With the envelope template, we print it, cut it out, and fold on the dotted lines. Then we use only the cash in the envelope to pay for our purchases in that category so we always know how much we have left. At the beginning of the month or pay period, we get out the amount of cash we have budgeted for that category and put it in the envelope. One method that people like to use for budgeting for variable expenses is to use the cash envelope system, made popular by Dave Ramsey.Įach envelope represents one budget category (groceries, for example). Printable Cash EnvelopesĪlong with keeping track of our recurring bills, we also need to keep track of our variable spending categories. Then there are boxes for each month to check off when the bill has been paid. Since we know everyone’s brain works a bit differently, we made it a point to include several options for organizing various areas of finances so everyone can find printables that will be helpful for them.įor each bill, there’s room to write down what the bill is, the amount due each month (If it varies a little, like with a utility bill, we usually list the average payment.), and the date the bill is due. Whether you’re looking to set up a full budget and track your spending, gain some extra motivation to build savings or pay down debt, or just get a better idea of your full financial picture, a Budget Binder can be a great way to manage it all.
