Instructions Sheet 5
Every dollar of your income should be allocated to some category on this sheet. Money "left over" should be put back into a category even if you make up a new category. You are making the spending decisions ahead of time here. Almost every category (except debt) should have some dollar amount in it. Example: If you do not plan to replace the furniture, when you do replace it, you will cause strain or borrowing, so go ahead and plan now by saving. I have actually had people tell me that they can do without clothing. Oh come ON!! Be careful in your zeal to make the numbers work that you don't substitute the urgent for the important.
Fill in the amount for each subcategory under "Subtotal" and then the total for each main category under "Total." As you go through your first month, fill in the "Actually Spent" column with your real expenses or the saving you did for that area. If there is a substantial difference in the plan versus the reality, something has to give. You will either have to adjust the amount allocated to that area up and another down, or you will have to better control your spending in that area.
"Percent (%) Take-Home Pay" is the percentage of take-home pay that category represents. For example, the percentage of your total take-home you spent on "Housing." We will then compare your percentages with those on Sheet 6 to determine if you need to consider adjusting your lifestyle.
An asterick (*) beside an item means you should use the "envelope system."
The Emergency Fund should get ALL the savings until three to six months of expenses have been saved.
Note: Savings should be increased as you get closer to being debt-free.
Hint: By saving early for Christmas and other gifts, you can get great buys and give better gifts for the same money.
You have three sets of "Monthly Cash Flow Plan" sheets located at the end of the thirteen lessons.
Use these forms as your zero-based budget forms which will be checked every few weeks by your group leaders.
Make enough copies to do this for a one-year period in order to help you develop proper financial management habits.
