How to use the template?

📑 WHAT IS KAKEIBO?

Kakeibo is a minimal, mindful approach to finance and budgeting. Inspired by the traditional Japanese ways of saving money, it simple yet powerful way of approaching finance. The premise is simple, instead of mindless spending and hoping to save some money, Kakeibo reverses the process, by implementing a method where you save first and then spend.

📑 THE KAKEIBO METHOD

1. Estimated a reasonable saving goal by calculating your average expenses and income per month.

2. Each month, add fixed income and subtract fixed expenses. Your monthly saving goal is calculated from the yearly goal and has already been taken off your budget.

3. You can spend the money left, and be sure to hit your saving goal. Keep track of all your spending throughout the month, tag them by category and type (need, want, culture, unexpected)

4. At the end of the month, you can review your spending by category and type.

5. No more wondering where all your money is going! Use the pieces of information to make a better financial decision next month.
