Budgeting Worksheet
March 2019
When preparing a cash flow budget from scratch, it is difficult to remember everything. The attached PDF file provides you a form to follow to prepare your own budget. Just remember to build in allowances for larger items you may only purchase every few years, such as a new car. For example, if you buy a new car every five years for $20,000, build in $4,000 per year you allow you to save enough for that future purchase. Likewise for occasional vacations, home renovations, furnishings, etc.
