MNP Budget Tracker Spreadsheet
Consumer budgeting involves a few things: planning out your paycheques and where / how to spend them, planning for the usual monthly expenses and planning for irregular or annual expenses. All these steps help to avoid or reduce your debt and hopefully prevent you from having to look at debt consolidation options.
Creating a spending plan starts with knowing where you are at now. If you’re uncertain as to what your current monthly or annual expenses are, it will be tough to know where to make any changes. Step one would be to write out what your current income and expenses are, or at least your best estimate for now. That’s a huge start. Maybe this involves saving receipts for a month or two to get an idea. To help with this, we have a helpful Budget Worksheet for you to use.
