Budget Books

Hi

I have started to do a budget book with all our outgoing etc. I have done it for when we get paid at the end of this month.

I was just wondering if you do, do one how many months in advance do you do it for?

or do you do it every month a few days before payday?

i hope this makes sense lol

  • I do something similar - though it is basically a list on my ipod which I update with purchases. I pencil in 2 months ahead, with any big purchases planned (e.g. union dues once per year) and can then amend for specifics once i've had my payslip (e.g overtime).
