How to use this printable

  1. Print one sheet to cover ~4 weeks. (Or use one sheet per month.)
  2. At the top, decide your weekly split. The classic is 50% spend, 30% save, 20% share — but adjust to fit your situation.
  3. Each week, write what went into each pot.
  4. Tick the box when you've added the money.
  5. Once a month, look at the totals. Were the splits right? Adjust next month.

Tip: put each pot in a different physical place — clear jar for save, wallet for spend, envelope for share. Out of sight = out of mind. In sight = visible progress.
