Budget By Paycheck® WORKBOOK
Live a life you love on a budget that you can afford. The Budget by Paycheck® Workbook will help you get there!
No other budgeting tool is designed to help you organize your bills, budget your paychecks, track your progress, pay off debt, and save more money, all in one workbook.
Whether you get paid monthly, every other week, or weekly, the Budget by Paycheck® Workbook is designed to help you easily create a unique paycheck budget and financial plan that is based on your pay schedule (not just monthly).
Create a Budget That Works With Your Everyday Life
Have you created budget after budget, only to feel like you are failing time and time again? Have you worked hard to take control of your money only to find yourself falling even more behind? I have.
As someone who struggled with budgeting for years, I can tell you that there is a way out! I was that mom sitting at the kitchen table wondering how I was going to afford to pay my bills. I carried the heavy weight of debt on my shoulders, struggling to find the light at the end of the tunnel.
Throughout my financial journey, I realized that a budget needs to be a true reflection of your life. It’s personal. I wanted to find a resource that could help bring organization to my finances. A tool that could help me budget my money on a pay schedule that worked for me, but also help me pay off debt and save the most of my hard-earned dollars, and–most importantly-help me LIVE the life I always dreamed about without having to constantly worry about money in the back of my mind.
I couldn’t find it. So I decided to create the ultimate budget tool myself.

WHAT’S INSIDE
Financial Goals
Identify your short, medium, and long-term financial goals. Breakdown the details, so you know how much you need to save to be successful.
Reminder Woksheet
Never forget about a subscription payment again. Whether it’s an annual payment that gets pulled automatically from your checking account or a semi-annual expense, be financially prepared for those expenses when they come due.
Yearly Savings Goals
Stop feeling pressured to use your credit card. Saving cash for holidays and events, and having savings goals for specific future expenses can keep you from going into more debt. Use this worksheet to map out up to eight yearly savings goals.
Monthly Budget Calendar
The calendar helps you keep track of bills, shows you what bills to pay with what paycheck, and reminds you of special holidays and events for the entire month, so you don’t forget them in your budget.
Yearly Saving Tracker
Track your savings progress month-to-month. Know how much you have saved for each of your goals at any given time.
Brand New Bill Tracker
There is no other budgeting worksheet like it. Create a plan for your money every time you get paid. Budget your monthly bills, sinking funds, cash envelopes, extra savings, and additional debt payments. Each month includes four bill trackers.
Cash Envelope Breakdown
Organize your cash for the cash envelope method. Not only can you figure out which bills and how many to get of each, but know what bills to use for each envelope ahead of time. Make things easy when you go to the bank by using the cutout bank teller slip.
Money Tracker Worksheet
If you tracked your spending, it’s time to extract the vital information that can make the most significant difference in your financial life. Break down your spending into categories, figure out your realistic budget limits, and compare your spending from month-to-month.
Expense Tracker
Nothing is more important than tracking your spending. Awareness and the ability to know where to cut costs in your budget is crucial. It’s time to see where every dollar is going.
Debt Plan Worksheet
If you are on a debt payoff journey, nothing is more motivational than seeing progress. Write out a list of your debts, their interest rates, minimum payments, and current balances. Use the guided formulas to figure out your monthly progress as well as your overall debt progress using percentages and dollars.
Net Worth Tracker
Get a snapshot of your financial health every month. Track your progress over time by listing out your assets and liabilities.

My name is Mary. I live in Hawaii and am the mother of 5 children. When I was younger, I signed up for multiple credit cards and student loans. I racked up $30,000 in debt. I pretended for years that I didn’t have any debt. This workbook helped me get control of my spending and my life on track. I know I will be purchasing this book every year.

The Budget By Paycheck Workbook has completely turned our lives around! We have gone from carelessly swiping our credit cards and fearfully checking our bank accounts to paying ourselves first, tracking our spending, and checking our bank accounts at least once a day. We have paid off around 10,000 worth of debt and have almost 7,000 saved for a house!

Today, I give you permission to find hope with your finances.
I know what it’s like to want a better life, to want more from your dollars, and to find a budgeting method that finally starts showing you signs of success and progress. I want to help you create a realistic budget so you can stop feeling overwhelmed and start having fun with the budgeting process.

I genuinely believe that the Budget by Paycheck® Workbook and my system will allow you to find your own AHA moments.
