Tracking Expenses

To the right you’ll see the tracking sheet where you will record your expenses. All of this information comes from the outside of your tracking envelope and your receipts. There may be some categories that do not apply.

Transferring expenses from your envelope to this sheet will show you how much you are spending on each of the various categories. You need this information when you develop your spending-savings plan. Be sure to separate items and place each one into the specific categories on your “Tracking Sheet.”
