Budget planner
When to use: Remember to think about what budget stage you are exploring and change your entries to suit. For example, once you buy your house, you may no longer be paying rent but you may have a mortgage. You may also have different transport costs or home-related expenses such as council rates and maintenance expenses. How to use: Choose a time period (e.g. fortnightly or monthly). Type in your regular income and expenses (and optionally any cash assets you already have). Remember to use the same time period for income and expenses.
