SOFTWARE & IMPORTANT DETAILS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Microsoft Excel is recommended. Excel software is not included.

This is a macro-free .xlsx planner. Google Sheets, mobile editing, and older Excel versions have not been certified.

Unzip the download before opening the files.

Data entry is manual. There is no bank connection, automatic transaction import, or automatic transfer of entries between trackers.

Enter each month’s planned budgets, debt balances, and savings balances manually. Recurring plans and balances do not automatically carry forward.

Changing the viewing month does not overwrite stored monthly entries. However, changing the starting month after entering records relabels the month slots; it does not migrate your history.

Save your changes regularly. Monthly record storage is not a guarantee of automatic file saving.

After twelve months, keep the completed workbook as your archive and start a new clean copy for your next twelve-month period.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The listing screenshots show fictional demonstration data. The clean buyer workbook does not contain those fictional financial entries.

Debt payoff figures and savings requirements are estimates. They do not account for every lender rule, fee, changing rate, or personal circumstance, and they are not guaranteed outcomes.
