How To Create A Simple Monthly Budget

There were no gimmicks; we just purely wanted to help Canadians and others worldwide with their finances because there was a time when we needed help, too.

One of the best ways to pay it forward is sharing the knowledge, our primary goal with the Canadian Budget Binder.

The good part is that you don’t need to know how to budget because we worked hard.

You need to know how we created the spreadsheet and the information YOU need to complete throughout the year.

Your household budget is essential, too. Take the time to read the 10-Step Mini Budgeting Series below and get on track with saving and paying down your debt.

Good luck, and if you have any questions, feel free to message me or leave comments below, as I enjoy reading your feedback.
