<prompt> Human: Hey guys, so I tried surfing around the web not too long ago for some good monthly budget planners but I couldnt find anything to my liking and I am a man who needs stuff like organized or it will turn to chaos quick.. So, I was wondering what some of you guys use and if you could link me to them  <response>: If organization is your issue, my method might be helpful for you. I take my annual salary minus income tax and subtract out rent, 12 times average monthly utilities usually overbudgeted, 6 plane tickets a year at 350 each to see friends and family, and car insurance. Then I subtract out the amount I want to having in savings by the end of the year. Then I look at the remainder and divide it by 26 since I get paid biweekly.Thus, I have a biweekly amount of money that I can spend, and I dont have to bother to break it down into categories. Then, I just use a Google form and enter my expenditure every time I spend money. It all collects in a Google Sheet, and I have a running sum to check how much Im spending. There are apps like MegaWidget that allow you to make a widget on your phone from a cell in a Google Sheet, so I have a running tally of everything Ive spent on the home screen of my phone. It worked better for me than allocating xx to grocery and xx to gas, because those expenses are really variable for me, depending how busy work is and how much I drive.
