Creating a Home Journal: Step 7 - Budget

This section helps me keep my finances under control. I have a list of all monthly expenses here and all the information I need to pay them - such as due dates, method of payment etc. I also have a sheet with my budget calculated that I created in an Excel Spread Sheet. The budget lists what money I have coming in and what I have to pay out. The last part of the budget section is a big brown envelope where I store bills and receipts until filing day.

Homework

• Make a list of all financial obligations include pertinent details


• Create a monthly budget


• Install (I just punched holes in one side and put it in my binder) a manilla envelope
