How to Make an Awesome Budget Painlessly

How to Make an Awesome Budget Painlessly

Where is my money going?!

Have you ever asked yourself this question? Maybe it’s when you reach into your wallet and find nothing but fuzz. Maybe it’s when you get a shocker of a credit card statement.

Maybe it’s during tax time when you’re entering your income numbers . . . and you know that most of that money is definitely not sitting in your savings account.

You’ve thought about making a budget.

But it’s less appealing than volunteering for a root canal.

If you find the idea of making a budget detestable, it’s probably because . . .

It’s too overwhelming.

You simply don’t know how to make a great budget. What’s involved in the process? What do you include in a budget? What happens if you forget something?

It’s too much work.

When you start a budget with nothing but a sheet of paper and a pencil, it absolutely is a ton of work. Starting from scratch typically means that you’ll wear yourself out with the process before you make much headway. And you won’t want to come back to it later.

You’re not a numbers person.

If you worry about messing up all that number crunching, it’s no wonder that you don’t want to tackle the big math problem that is your budget.

You don’t like the idea of planning your money.

A budget sounds like a diet — a great way to feel deprived until you fix your starvation with some late-night bingeing. You work hard for your money! And you want to have some fun with it!

You’re scared of what you’ll learn.

Do you purposely keep yourself in the dark about your money? You let your spouse handle the finances. Or you simply avoid looking at how much money is coming out of your bank account for your phone bills, electric bills, and mortgage.

You’re petrified that your money situation is worse than you realize!

Introducing the Budget Template & Trackers workbook…

Say goodbye to the overwhelm and the massive effort required to create a budget.

Everything you need — in exquisite detail so you know you’re not missing anything — is packaged for you in this 17-page workbook. It walks you through the process of setting up a complete budget.

All you need is this book, a pencil, and a calculator (or spreadsheet program).

In addition to pages for income and expenses, you get a clean summary table that shows you exactly how much you’re bringing in, how much you’re spending, and how much you’re saving.

Plus, as an added bonus, this workbook contains an Emergency Fund Calculator and Emergency Fund Trackers for mapping your savings progress toward your goal.

And — like those diet plans that promise you that you can still eat your favorite foods — the Budget Template & Trackers workbook has spaces for you to plan for the fun stuff!

Dining out, vacations, entertainment purchases, going out on the town, home décor, extra-curriculars for your kids, gifts . . . it’s all there!
