Newly Wed Budget Sheets

How many people truly know where their money goes each month? How many times did they go out to eat? Why can't they afford the new shoes at the end of the month? These are simple steps I have learned while being in college on a budget, as well as a newlywed! Reclaim control over your finances and begin being intentional about your money. A budget is not something that constricts, it is a tool that provides a guide to spending your money with no stress!

-Pen and paper (Old school way)

-Laptop with access to google docs or Microsoft word (Modern peeps)

- Patience!

Our income is the best way to know where we stand financially. I do not claim to have a PHD in finances, however, I have learned a lot about staring with your income lets us get a great feel for where we are at!

There can be many unexpected expenses or unknowns throughout a month time. That is what the "?" are representing. These items listed are very common things that I have run into throughout a month. The most annoying to me has to be CAR TROUBLE. Keep an eye out for those crazy expenses.

You see here that day one of any month you may not have all of the numbers in order. That is okay! You must consistently meet and discuss changes to the budget as the weeks go. It is hard to predict the rain but it will rain I promise you!

Tell your money where you want it to go! Do not forget to live along the way!
