Clever Fox Budget Book – Financial Planner Organizer & Expense Tracker. Money Planner Account Notebook for Monthly Budgeting. Compact (Black)

The planner itself is very nice but i do miss some of the features from the original version, for example:The calendar-I really enjoyed using the calendar so I could see what bills/payments would be deducted on what days.The Monthly Budget page-Although I didn't use the pre-populated expenses I do miss the categories and the boxes (housing, personal, food, loans etc.) The new version has it wide open for me to write down all the expenses I want, but I do miss the boxes. Perhaps next time you can still incorporate the boxes and category heading but then leave the rest blank for us to fill in our own expenses.I do love the Upcoming Purchases and Upcoming Bills section.I also like how you added more Savings and Debt pages and placed them into the back of the planner.I will be sure to put this planner to good use by giving it as a gift to my daughter, but I will probably go back to the original version. Even the size of the original version works well for me.Thank you kindly.

This is awesome. I normally hand write everything in a little notebook but it ends up looking like a mess.I can keep things more organized now!I don’t intend of using ALL of the features, like the “Actual” column as you can see I changed it to “Date Due” and the “Difference” to a “Paid” with a little check box.Biggest negative (and it’s minor) are the stickers. They did not provide 12 of each and I’m sad to say I will have to buy some more to keep up with my little “Paid” sticker after all bills have been paid each month.All in all this thing is awesome and well worth the money!!!

This is more bare bones than their budget planner, but that works better for me. I am using in correlation with their Tyrek budget envelopes. The undated and uncatorgerized nature of the planner makes it totally customizable! I love this product! It is totally compatible with the Dave Ramsey baby steps.

This clever little budget book fits neatly into a drawer and is so sturdy, I don't see it ever falling apart. I also like the 'monthly goal' and 'checklist' sections for each month that keep me on a good financial track. However, I had a few issues: there are only four income lines, which isn't enough for my husband and I, and would probably also be a problem if one is self-employed; the savings portions aren't long enough (we are constantly making small deposits into our accounts, and sometimes having to make withdrawals); and the 'monthly budget' portion didn't provide enough lines. I can see where this might be the perfect budget book for some people, but for my husband and I, it was a thumbs-down. I wouldn't purchase this book again. However, if the company ever makes this into an 8x10 with more spaces, I'd most certainly give it a second glance.

Like so many others, my family's finances had become chaotic. I used to stay on top of things, but that was a long time ago and my now adult children were also not that well organized financially. This year, I decided it was time to get a grip on our finances again. I examined the various budget notebooks on Amazon, with an eye for what we really needed them to do. While there are several good options, I found that Clever Fox Budget Book - Financial Planner Organizer & Expense Tracker Notebook meets our needs the best. In addition, it's very pretty looking and comes in a variety of colors. I bought 3 of them, one for myself, one for my daughter for her family's budget needs, and one for my oldest son. All of us are delighted with these budget notebooks. Their convenient size makes it easy to keep close at hand, so that we can write things down right away. The planning section makes it easy to see if we are meeting our goals or if we need to make some adjustments. We also like being able to easily see if our bills are being handled the way we intended.

Fantastic budget planner! This is my second clever fix budget planner. Last year I used the slightly bigger one with the monthly calendar layout which really helped me set up and organize my finances. This year, I've switched to this one which is laid out a bit differently. I love the extra pages in the back for tracking debt and savings, (my old one had fewer), the size, ease of use, and the layout. Since I started using clever fox, I've paid off my credit card debt, and started saving. Highly recommend!

Pros: 1) Size is perfect. 2) I like the color options.Cons: 1) Only one ribbon bookmark and other Cleverfox items have three. 2) I use a check register normally to track my expenses and started using the expense tracker as a check register but I have to modify it in order to do so. I wish the expense tracker was an actual check register. Or that it contained both. 3) I get paid bi-weekly so I figure out my expenses bi-weekly and not monthly. So I also modify the monthly sections to be bi-weekly which will make this only usable for three months instead of six.Overall I do like this budget book but I did need to modify it to fit my needs.

Wow Clever Fox outdid themselves with this budget book! I love the new features they added that are different than the planner. I can easily plan out my month and further and it can be accommodated to break down by paycheque cycle IE bi-monthly or bi-weekly. I use the savings section to track my assets too so I can watch them grow :)

This book is brilliant. I normally use an exercise book to track my expenses but it wasnt working as I was simply doing just that and it didnt help me reduce my spending. Since having this book (this is my second month using it) I've been able to track my expenses, see where I'm spending unnecessarily and set goals and budgets for myself. It was quite a shock the first month to see how much of my pay check was dwindling away! Bare in mind I've been "tracking" my expenses since March. Before purchasing the book I was worried that it looked small however it's actually the perfect size. Also, a tip for newbies like myself - use a pencil! I'm so happy I did as I had to erase quite a bit especially as it took me awhile to figure out how to categorise certain expenses. Another "tip" that works for me is rather than listing my purchases by month, as I get paid a few days before the end of the month I find it helpful to track expenses for examlle July/August and August/September. This just works better for me so I can start tracking soon as I'm paid. This may not work for everyone but thought I'd share.The seller is also lovely. I appreciate them sending an email to check that I was happy with the purchase.I really wouldn't hesitate on buying this product if you're keen to start managing your finances and saving.

I got this product because I just wanted to get better at budgeting for 2021. An odd time to buy just before Christmas but it's better to get a handle now than put things off. Everything is laid out really well. I can already see one habit I have. I can lay out all my monthly bills. Keep track of all expenses. I have laid out all the presents I have for the year and not end up the week before the birthday panicking because I forgot. Also its helpful for me setting a saving target. When this is finished I will be buying it again next year

This little Budget Book is a Godsend. Very easy to use and update. Makes it easy to keep track of everything. Way better than my attempts at keeping it all together on my pc in spreadsheets!!

Wow! This financial planner is amazing. I have never been so in control of my money. I’ve been using it for 2 months now and for once know exactly what is going in and out of my accounts and I am now able to see where I can make some savings. This planner will last me a year and I’ll definitely be buying it again every year following
