Total pen and paper girl. I used to budget this way, drawing grid lines in a notebook, anything to just stay on track with a young family going in all kinds of crazy directions. I've tried digital budgeting and it is not the same so back to pen and paper for me. I am using a TBM printable because it is set up the same way I do mine. Thanks for encouraging and emphasizing JUST START - that is the key. Great job explaining your process. ❤
Thank you!! You always make me feel like we’re just cut right from the same cloth… my budget sister!! I don’t generally like digital anything..lol I’ve never even tried budgeting digitally… the only device I own is my cell phone, no tablet or laptop, so I am assuming it would be too tiny to see🔍
Just found you. Love this. My budget system tools are pens, papers, and dollar store envelopes. I can’t get caught up in all the pretty binders and such.
Oh my goodness you sound just like me. I did break down and buy myself the envelope binders on Amazon for the cheapest I could get them, other than that I really just can’t do all the fancy stuff on my budget even if I wanted to, I can’t afford it!!
I make my own pages for my budget, too. I don't have extra money to spend, so I make my own everything, as much as possible. Checks used to come in checkbook boxes. Those boxes made good dividers, so I used them instead of a bill holder. Now I just use stacks. I've used the same ruler for years, pick and choose different kinds of paper . Some years I've made copies and when I use a very simple system, that doesn't take too many pages, I make the pages as I need them. I've got various colors of pens and markets. White out dries out, as you know. I get it at Dollar Tree. I really liked seeing that you make your own sheets, too. The pre-fab ones I find always have too much space allowed for one thing and not enough space for something else. I like sheets that are customized to my needs. So good to know there's someone who also likes and does her own customization. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing. I totally agree!!! I tell people you really don’t need to break the bank to budget. Sometimes I’m tempted by all of the cuteness but I don’t need it!! I love the checkbook box idea. I’ll have to look around and see if I have any old checkbook boxes I know my last checks came in kind of a file folder inside of a poly mailer with no box :( thank you for all the kind words and support. Glad to meet a fellow pen and paper budgeter🫶🏼
Thank you so much for your interest. Sorry, I don’t know how to share digitally… but I did make a video explaining step-by-step How I make my budget sheet, I really hope that helps you out!!
