Congratulations, and thank you for participating in the 30-Day With Money Challenge
Today is the first and the most important day.
We begin this challenge by working on the most crucial resource for building long-term wealth. Without this resource, it is almost impossible to win with money.
This resource is the surplus of income over expenses. It is also known as net cash flow or investible surplus.
Generally, people budget to make ends meet or to manage their expenses within their income.
Contrary to the popular understanding; a budget is not made to curb your expenses and deprive you! Ideally it should help you do more with your money
Your budget's real purpose is to generate a investible surplus which you can use to build lasting wealth.
Forward Cashflow Planner
Here is a simple template you can use to populate your income and expenses and find out your investible surplus.
With its auto-populate feature, you can copy the first month's data to the remaining 11 months and ascertain the overall cash flow and surplus.
You can edit the expenses in the individual cell whenever necessary.
It also has other cool features like multicurrency conversion, a Wealth Projection graph, and expense classification.
Potential Wealth
As I stated in the Curtain Raiser Webinar today, awareness is the key.
This template helps you project the wealth you can build in 5, 10, 15 20 years at the current savings rate.
Once you become aware of your potential to build wealth using the surplus you can generate, you become motivated.
You are more likely to make prudent spending decisions and increase your regular savings.
It also classifies your expenses into Needs, Wants, Savings and Loans to help you plan them better.
Data Privacy and Judgement Free
Unlike many smartphone or web apps, this template does not collect your private data. All the information is stored on your local computer, so be assured of data safety.
Also, because you are completing this template by yourself, you do not have to worry about being judged as well.
Enter the actual income and expenses without worrying about being judged. Ascertain the your investible surplus for each month and for the year 2023.
The only flip side is that you will not be followed on social media with targeted ads.😉
No Sign-up or opt-in is required.
The cost of this template is $25, but it is complimentary for the members of this group.
