TN budget inserts for a standard traveler's notebook, bills to savings

These TN budget inserts are sized for a standard traveler's notebook, 110 by 210 mm (about 4.33 by 8.25 inches), and every page is about money: planning the month, keeping up with bills, logging what you spend, growing savings and counting days you spent nothing. Nothing is dated. You get 7 sheets that become 28 insert pages, marked with cut lines, crop marks and fold lines. Print the US Letter or A4 PDF on both sides, trim, fold and staple, and you have one slim booklet. It downloads instantly and nothing is shipped.

A calm, pocket-sized home for every bill and every saved amount.

How the TN budget inserts keep your money on track

Each month is planned on a two-page spread sitting in the middle of the booklet. Income and fixed costs go on the left; flexible spending by category, savings and a summary go on the right. Then you tick off each bill on the bills this month page.

Room for 81 purchases fills the spending log. A calendar page lists which bills land on each date of the month, and the savings page gives you 100 squares, one to mark for every deposit. Because there are no dates and no printed amounts, you can begin whenever you like, write in your own currency and simply print another monthly budget sheet when the next month rolls around.

Who these traveler's notebook inserts are for

• Anyone who carries a standard traveler's notebook or a leather journal cover and wants the budget to go along too
• People who enjoy jotting down each purchase by hand to see the real picture of their spending
• Savers building toward a rainy day fund, a holiday or a big buy who love ticking off progress
• Anyone giving a spending freeze or a month of no-spend days a try and wanting a compact record

Insert size, design and printing

• Elegant and minimal: white pages, soft blush pink touches and very little ink
• Roomy margins, so a home printer will not cut anything off
• Printed landscape on US Letter or A4 paper, two 110 by 210 mm pages per sheet, with dashed lines for cutting, crop marks and a mark at the center for folding
• No dates, so you can begin in whatever month and year suits you
• No currency symbols, so write in whatever money you use
• A set devoted to money, and a different product from our general Traveler's Notebook Inserts, which cover weekly and daily planning, travel journaling and habits
