Make Your First Budget

5 weeks · 3 milestones

Track every dollar you spend for one full month. Use a spreadsheet (Google Sheets is free), a notebook, or any budgeting app. List every income source — including pocket money, gifts, and any earnings — and every expense. At the end of the month, look at the numbers honestly and write down one thing you'd change. Proof is your completed income/expense record plus a short reflection.

What you'll achieve

Set up your tracking system — spreadsheet or app — and log your starting balance

Mid-month check: at least 2 weeks of transactions logged, every category filled

Full month complete — submit your income/expense record + 50-word reflection on what you'd change
