Increasingly people are tracking and keeping close scrutiny over their spending, and your Filofax stands ready to help you with this. I have designed two different pages to support budgeting in the Filofax Personal.
First, there's a recording sheet:
What you'll do on this sheet is track your day-to-day spending. Along the top of the page you can name up to 8 budget categories (using multiple sheets will allow you an unlimited number, but eight is a sensible and manageable number for most people) and you can note the monthly budget you've set for each category. Underneath you can track your spending day-by-day, by category.
Next comes the analysis sheet:
This sheet allows you to record monthly totals and analyse your actual spending by category and variance to your budget over a four month period.
Both pages will print double-sided, two-to-a-page on A4 paper. You can download the pages here:
Recording sheet - Word file or PDF file
Analysis sheet - Word file or PDF file
Each file should be printed double-sided with the duplex set to flip along the short edge. You can then cut out and punch individual pages as outlined in this post.

If using the PDF versions remember to set your printer settings so as not to shrink the pages.
