Tell me honestly…
Have you ever reached December and wondered,
“Wait… where did all my money go?”

Yeah, same. 🫠

That’s exactly why I created something that saved my finances — and honestly, my sanity — all year round:
An Annual Budget Tracker Printable.

This isn’t just a regular planner.
This is your financial vision board for the year. Your money compass.
Your “I-got-my-life-together” energy in one printable page. 🧡

💡 Why You Need an Annual Budget Tracker

Let’s face it — monthly budgets are great.
But they don’t help when:

Your car needs a service in August 🚗
You forgot your kid’s birthday is in May 🎂
Holiday shopping hits you like a snowstorm in December 🎁

An annual budget helps you plan ahead.
Like a bestie who whispers, “Girl, save for that now or you’ll cry later.”

📝 What’s Inside This Tracker?

This isn’t a boring Excel spreadsheet or a complex app you forget to open.

It’s a beautifully designed printable that includes:

✅ 12-month overview
✅ Income tracker (monthly + yearly)
✅ Fixed & variable expense slots
✅ Savings goal section
✅ Sinking funds tracker
✅ Debt payment progress bar
✅ Monthly highlights & reflection box 💭

Perfect for taping to your fridge, keeping in your budget binder, or slipping into your planner.

🎯 Who Is It For?

This printable is for the woman who:

Is juggling bills, birthdays, brunches, and budgets
Wants peace-of-mind over panic
Is DONE with last-minute “Oh no, the insurance payment is due again?!”

Whether you’re a working mom, single freelancer, college girl, or just someone who finally wants to get her money in order — this tracker is your new BFF.

💖 How I Use It Personally (And Why I Swear By It)

Every January, I sit down with a cozy drink ☕, light a candle 🕯️, and map out my money month-by-month.

I write down:

What I know is coming (rent, insurance, subscriptions)
What I want to save for (trips, birthdays, Christmas)
What I need to plan emotionally for (back-to-school, winter bills, self-care breaks)

Guess what happened when I used this printable last year?

I saved over $3,000 with ZERO last-minute freakouts 😌
No late payments
And I actually bought gifts in November like a holiday queen 👑

📥 Want It Now?

Ready to plan your entire year of budgeting in one go?
This printable makes it doable, beautiful, and dare I say… fun?

Let’s be real — we’ve all started a planner with the best intentions and… dropped it like a toxic ex by February. 😅
But this time, things are different.

This isn’t about perfection.
This is about consistency, grace, and giving your money the attention it deserves.

🔄 Step 1: Start With an Honest Annual Overview

Grab your printable and look at the 12-month spread.

Ask yourself:

What big expenses are non-negotiable this year? (Rent, insurance, utilities)
What irregular costs do I always forget? (Back-to-school shopping, car repairs, vet visits)
What joy-sparking things do I want to save for? (Vacation, birthday gifts, self-care treats)

Write these down month by month.
Now you can breathe. You’re not forgetting anything.

💸 Step 2: Set Monthly Income + Expense Estimates

On each month’s column:

Write your expected income (after tax)
List your fixed expenses (rent, phone bill, etc.)
List your variable expenses (groceries, fuel, fun)

👉 Pro Tip: Use colored pens or highlighters to make it fun and easier to follow at a glance. Women love a bit of color-coding chaos that looks like order. 🎨

💰 Step 3: Plan Your Savings Goals Like a Pro

Under the savings section, write out what you want to achieve financially this year.

Examples:

“Save $2,000 for my sister’s wedding”
“Put $1,500 into my emergency fund”
“Set aside $300 for Christmas starting in July”

Break these goals down monthly. That way, it’s not overwhelming.

$25/week sounds WAY better than $1,300 by December, right?

🐿️ Step 4: Add Sinking Funds (a.k.a. Sanity Savers)

Use the sinking funds tracker to prep for future costs that love to sneak up and ruin your mood.

Some clever sinking fund categories:

Car maintenance
Kids’ school supplies
Holiday spending
Home repairs
Haircuts or beauty appointments 💅

Trust me — nothing feels more powerful than opening an envelope or account and realizing,
“Oh hey, I’ve already got that covered.”

📊 Step 5: Track + Reflect Monthly

At the end of each month:

Review what worked
Note where you overspent (no shame, just awareness!)
Celebrate small wins — like staying under your grocery budget or actually saving that $50

Use the Monthly Reflection Box to jot down:
