Back-to-School Family Budget Planner
Plan every kid's back-to-school budget in one place — no more juggling separate lists for supplies, clothes, fees, and activities.
How to open it:
This is a digital planner that lives in one file — no app, subscription, or account needed. Download it, then open it in any web browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge) on your computer. It works fully offline once downloaded.
*Mobile Version COMING SOON*
How to use it:
Just start typing — every field autosaves as you go, right in your computer browser. Use the tabs at the top to move between pages, and add a tab for each child so their budgets stay separate. When you want a paper copy or a PDF, use the "Save as PDF" button to print the whole planner or just the page you're on.
What's inside:
- A one-page household overview that totals every child's budget automatically
- A repeatable per-child tracker (supplies, clothes/shoes, fees, activities, tech) — add as many kids as you need
- A Needs vs. Wants breakdown that auto-tags every line item
- A shopping list with a 3-store price comparison (the best price highlights itself)
- A fee and payment due-date tracker with built-in reminders
- A reflection page for next year's planning
Works beautifully on desktop and mobile. Part of the Fresh Start Bundle — pairs perfectly with the Savings Challenge Tracker and Money Mindset Journal.
