Have you tried using bullet journal pages to track money yet? If not you are missing out on a fantastic way to keep track of your savings and spending habits. Tracking what you do with your money is a fantastic way to tighten the belt on frivolous spending.
I’m still in love with my bullet journal, though these days it’s acting less like a planner and more like an actual journal. However, I started tracking how much I was spending on certain unnecessary items in an effort to be more aware of our finances.
Of course this means I have to share some beautiful spreads with you. A little bit of inspiration so you can choose the bullet journal money tracker that works for your goals.
The spreads I have chosen are based around saving money, tracking spending habits, and reaching savings goals. I recommend picking more than one bullet journal money tracker so you can track both savings and spending.
As part of my goal for the new year I wanted to be better about our finances. Less ordering pizza, more home cooked meals, no more soda, and find more frugal hobbies.
Before we get started here is a list of my recommended supplies.

DO NOT BUY THAT! Scribbles that Matter should be back in stock soon. My second favorite journal is the Essentials Dot Matrix, though I warn you the pages on this one are thinner and bleeding and shadows show up on opposite sides. However, it's a decent cheap journal if you are in a pinch and just want to get started.
