Balanced Monthly Spending Plan for ________________________
Free financial budget worksheet (2 of 3)

You should have completed the monthly budget worksheet to enable you to compare your actual spending for the month against your net monthly income. In this worksheet, we want to help you create a balanced spending plan.

On average, people spend 10% more than they make each month. You can't eliminate debt, increase savings, or maximize your investments if you are spending more than you bring in each month. This worksheet will help you create a balanced monthly spending plan so that you can cut hidden spending, increase savings, and eliminate debt.

Print out the worksheet below and:

  1. List your actual expenditures from January (from the previous email worksheet) in the column labeled "Spent Last Month".
  2. List your net monthly income and the difference between what you spent and your net income in the "Balanced Spending Plan Summary" table.
  3. Make the adjustments necessary for the plan to balance with your income in the column titled, "Adjusted Allocation".
  4. Add up the totals from your adjusted allocations in the "Balanced Spending Plan Summary" table.
  5. Subtract your total allocations from your net monthly income. This amount should be zero so that you have all your income allocated to a spending category, with no overspending.

Debt Payoff Plan for ____________________
Free financial budget worksheet (3 of 3)

In the last 2 worksheets, you were given the ability to track your spending, and create a balanced spending plan. Now that you are making progress on your spending management, it’s time to start eliminating debt and taking that next step on the path to financial fitness.

First, list all of your debt obligations on the chart below. The list should include any and all people or companies that you owe money to; credit card balances, store accounts, mortgage, auto loan, student loans, etc.

Debt Obligations

 CREDITOR
BALANCE
OWING
INTEREST
RATE (%)
MONTHLY
PAYMENT
                        
       
       
       
       
       
       
       

As you review the list above, compare it to your spending plan. Make sure that you have included the monthly payment amount for each of these debts. If you didn’t, you’ll want to make those adjustments now so that you do not overspend your income. If you are using Mvelopes Personal, the system automatically sets up repayment envelopes for your credit cards, and you should already have an envelope created for each of your other debts. Any adjustments you need to make in Mvelopes should be quick and easy.

Once you have updated your spending plan, you can now look at how to quickly eliminate these debt obligations. In the chart below, prioritize the list from above in the order you would like to pay them off. This can be done by interest rate, or balance owing. We recomend listing them by interest rate. Place the highest interest rate at the top. Then list the others in descending order.

In the chart above, you probably noticed the extra column titled ‘roll-down amount’. In order to quickly eliminate debt, you can enlist the debt roll-down principle. When you pay off the first debt, put the amount of that monthly payment toward the next debt on the list. For example, if you were paying $75 per month on your American Express card and that card now has a zero balance, add the $75 to the payment amount of your Auto Loan, increasing the total from $200 to $275 each month. When the car is paid off, roll that total into your next debt on the list. By keeping your overall debt payment amount the same, even after you have paid off some debts, you can pay off all of your debts very quickly and save thousands in interest.

Accelerator payments are another method of increasing the rate of your debt reduction. An accelerator payment is simply an amount of money you take from your other spending categories and apply it to your debt payments. If you are using Mvelopes Personal, this can easily be done by sweeping any remaining balance from your spending accounts into your debt repayment envelopes. Applying this increased amount toward your remaining balance on each debt can shave off years of payments.

To see how the roll-down principle and accelerator payments work, visit our interactive debt calculator. The debt calculator will show you how much you will pay for your debts over time and how much the roll-down principle and an accelerator payment can save you.

This whole process of spending management can be done electronically, and in a fraction of the time. Come to www.mvelopes.com for your FREE 30-day trial- no risk, no obligation.
