Family Binder: Finances Section
Family Binder: Finances Section
This section is a big section in my family since we are working on trying to budget out the family and working on getting into a new place. And to do all that we need a place to work out all of our financials.
The pocket divider at the front of the section on the front holds (for now) our check books, bank account numbers (for now), and it holds deposit slips for our banks. The back of the pocket divider has another pocket and this is where the bills for the month live until they are paid. This section has 13 page protectors in it, one for my bill schedule, and then 12 that are labeled January-December.
The first is my Bill schedule, which I had written out on college rule paper, on this I have all my bills listed by their due date. I have this paper divided into 14 sections vertically. The first section is the Due Date section, this is where I list the due dates for each bill. The next section is of course the Bills, this is where I list out the names of the bills, simple right. And then the remaining 12 sections are labeled for the months of the year. And as the bills get paid off, I put a check mark in the box (created by the rows and columns) with the date paid. Then after the bill is paid, I remove the bill from the pocket and into the corresponding page protector for that month.
It seems like a lot but really it's not. I have a side note book where I keep track of confirmation numbers, date and amount paid. And that book is kept in the very front of my family binder.
I am working on adding in my family budget planner to this section as well. It's just taking a little longer than anticipated. **pictures will be up later.**
