When I was a kid I learned how to create a budget. The reason I learned was because it was a part of my school work. I was homeschooled and was baking cakes and making money selling them. I was off to a good start.
Later on I was on the church finance team, balanced the budget on my job at city hall and for several other jobs. I learned what I know about budgets from all those experiences. It came in handy when I became a mom and had to make my money stretch on one income. I know you can relate.
It’s my pleasure to share what I know with you. I created the Single Mom Budget Sanity worksheet to help make creating a budget easier.
This is not your typical budget worksheet. This is a worksheet that practically does the work for you. All you do is enter your net income into the worksheet and it does the rest for you.
Don’t forget to join the 6-Day Side Hustle Challenge so you can increase your income and have a lot more money to pay with in the worksheet ;-).
