What Is A Personal Finance Planner?
A personal finance planner is one of the best tools to use to improve your finances.
It usually covers the 4 personal finance pillars, budgeting, savings, debt, and investments.
A financial planner keeps track of where your money goes.
It’s important because without knowing more about your monthly expenses, it can be complicated to make necessary financial improvements to your current situation.
Why Do I Need A Personal Finance Planner?
Financial planners are not meant for everyone, but that’s okay. People have different lifestyles, backgrounds, and are on different paths when it comes to their finances.
A personal finance planner is meant for people who are willing to take the time to analyze their finances. It’s best for people who want to save money and pay off their debt.
When Is The Best Time To Get A Personal Finance Planner?
The best time to get a personal finance planner is whenever you’re ready to take control back on your finances.
I don’t recommend getting a financial planner if you’re not eager to make meaningful changes to your current financial situation.
How To Fill Out A Personal Finance Planner?
A financial planner is like any other tools, if you don’t use it the right way, you might not get the full benefits out of it.
In this section, I’m going over the financial planners I offer and how to fill them out.
Financial Planner Spreadsheet (Excel and Numbers)
Both Excel and Numbers financial planner are similar and contains a total of 16 sheets.
All colored cells are automatically generated, so you need to only fill out the non-colored cells.
Debt Summary
List all your debt on this sheet. For each debt, write down the creditor name, type of debt, minimum payment, interest rate, balance, and the payoff date.
The type of debt could be credit card, student loan, personal loan, mortgage, car loan, etc.
If your debt doesn’t have a specific payoff date, you can write down “Undetermined”.
Debt Tracker
The Debt Tracker is meant to help you pay off each debt by visualizing your progress.
Once you see your debt going down month after month, you’ll keep pushing to get rid of all your debt.
You can copy/paste all the information from a line of the Debt Summary into the first line of the Debt Tracker.
Every time your debt is down by 10%, you can color the thermometer until it is paid off.
Savings Summary
List all your savings goals on this sheet. For each savings goal, write down the account type, company name, purpose, balance, and savings goal.
The purpose of a savings goal could be an emergency fund, oops fund, monthly expenses, trips, retirement, etc.
Savings Tracker
The Savings Tracker is meant to track your savings goal.
For example, you might have $500 in your emergency fund, but your goal is to save $5,000 by the end of the year.
Filling out this tracker every month will renew your motivation until you achieve your goals.
You can copy/paste all the information from a line of the Savings Summary into the first line of the Savings Tracker.
Every time you save 10%, you can color the thermometer until you achieve your goal.
Subscription Tracker
For each subscription, write down the name, frequency (monthly, 3 months, annually, etc.), cost, payment due, and a description if necessary.
It is a great way to see all your subscriptions in one place.
That way, you can determine if you still need all of them or if you can save money by canceling the ones you don’t use anymore.
To-Do List
Write down everything you need to do financially to improve your current situation.
Annual Finance Summary
This sheet is automatically generated and give you an annual finance summary of your financial situation.
It will track your monthly income, monthly expenses, money saved, savings rate, and debt paid.
Budget Planner
For each sub-category, you need to determine your monthly budget.
At the end of the month, you have to calculate the total amount of money you spent for each sub-category.
Budget Summary
Once you filled out the budget planner page, the data is automatically generated.
For any categories that have a difference of $50+ or negative $50, write down an explanation for you to help understand what happened.
Then, write down what the goals for next month are. They can be related to your explanation or just something that you have to do to keep improving your finances.
Financial Planner PDF
The financial planner PDF is composed of 11 pages.
- Transactions Tracker
- Budget Planner
- Budget Summary
- Debt Summary
- Debt Tracker
- Savings Summary
- Savings Tracker
