How To Use this worksheet
The main idea is that once you know where the money goes, it's easier to adjust your spending.
Use this as a plan. First, record what's happening now. Then, adjust accordingly if possible.
Also, this work sheet covers most everything, but you may have other personal categories you want to add.
Before you start, you may want to put a line through the rows that don't apply so you know what info you need
There is also a column for after you own a home. Keep in mind, you will typically save money on your taxes
after you own a home because you can write off the interest paid on a mortgage and property taxes.
