Free stuff to help you get on top of your money
A mix of free downloads, paid templates, and tools I actually use myself. Nothing on here is recommended because it pays well — it’s here because it helped me.
Free Download: Budget Kickstart Checklist
This is the thing I wish I’d had when I first started trying to get our finances under control. It’s one page — no overwhelming spreadsheet, no complicated categories — just a simple starting point that helps you see where your money’s actually going each month.
Fill it in once and you’ll have a clearer picture of your finances than most people manage in a year of “meaning to sort it out”.
Family Budget Starter Kit (paid)
Once you know where your money’s going, this is how you actually do something about it.
I built this because sticky notes and vague mental maths were never a system… they were just stress with extra steps.
It’s a Google Sheets budget spreadsheet: one file, 8 linked tabs that update themselves as you go. Log your bills, log your income, and see what you planned to spend versus what actually happened. Track up to 5 savings goals. Pay off debt using the snowball method. There’s even a tab for irregular income, if your pay isn’t the same every month.
Everything’s colour coded, so you always know at a glance what needs your attention and what’s just quietly doing its job.
Built for UK families specifically… Council Tax, Child Benefit, Universal Credit, TV Licence, the actual categories your budget needs.
You’ll also get a how-to guide, an FAQ, and terms of use, so setup takes minutes, not an afternoon.
