Below are general educational budgeting prompts you can use with any journal. They’re designed to be quick, practical, and repeatable.

Weekly check‑in prompts

• What category drifted most this week, and why?
• What was one “good spend” that matched your priorities?
• What can you simplify next week (fewer categories, clearer limits)?

Monthly reset checklist

• List fixed expenses and confirm due dates.
• Set a realistic buffer for variable months.
• Choose one priority goal for the month (simple and measurable).
