HOW IT WORKS

· White cells are for typing. Everything else calculates itself.

· Green means better than planned, pink means a little over.

· Track spending right in the month tab, or purchase by purchase in the spending log.

· A "Start Here" tab with a 5-step quick start explains everything.

HOW TO USE IT IN GOOGLE SHEETS

1. Download the files from the link you get right after purchase

2. Go to Google Drive and upload the .xlsx file.

3. Open it and choose File → Save as Google Sheets.

You only need a free Google account. The file also opens directly in Excel (Microsoft 365 / Excel 2019 or newer).

GOOD TO KNOW

· This is a digital download. Nothing will be shipped.

· The spreadsheet is in English. Numbers are shown without a currency sign so they work in any country; the symbol you pick appears at the top of every tab.

· Numbers in the photos are sample data.

· In Google Sheets, charts and fonts may look slightly different than in the photos. The formulas work the same.

· The debt plan and paycheck planner are estimates, not financial advice. Your lender has the exact numbers.

· Fonts (Cormorant Garamond and DM Sans) are free Google Fonts. The sheet works fine without them.

· Colors may vary slightly between screens and printers.

· Tabs are protected (no password) so formulas aren't deleted by accident. Every cell you need to fill in is open.
