Clever FoxBudget Planner - Expense Tracker Notebook. Monthly Budgeting Organizer, Finance Logbook & Accounts Book, Bill Tracker, A5 (Gold)

Four years ago, when I embarked on the journey of managing finances in my newfound independence, I discovered the Clever Fox Budget Planner, and it has since become an indispensable companion in my financial life. As I just got done filling out the month of November in my fourth budget planner, I find myself reflecting on the incredible impact it has had on my financial organization and well-being.My initial purchase of the Clever Fox Budget Planner marked a pivotal moment in my life—moving in with my then-boyfriend, now-husband. It was my first foray into managing our finances, and this budget planner played a crucial role in setting the foundation for financial success. The beauty of this budget planner lies in its ability to keep me incredibly organized. From monthly budgets to expense tracking, it has provided structure without being overly prescriptive, allowing me the flexibility to tailor my budgeting approach according to our monthly needs and anything that life throws at us. The end-of-month reflections provided by the planner offer valuable insights into our spending habits. Calculating the percentage of expenses based on categories allows for a holistic view of our financial decisions, fostering a continuous learning process.Annual Ritual:What started as a practical tool has evolved into an annual tradition in my household. Each year, we eagerly pick the new color of the Clever Fox Budget Planner, turning it into a special event that involves the entire family. The vibrancy of the new color adds an extra layer of excitement to our financial planning.Goal Setting and Positive Reinforcement:Beyond the practical aspects, the Clever Fox Budget Planner incorporates inspirational elements that I cherish. Monthly and yearly goal-setting prompts encourage forward-thinking, while positive stickers inject a dose of encouragement and motivation into the budgeting process.I wholeheartedly recommend the Clever Fox Budget Planner to everyone, regardless of where they stand in their financial journey. Its user-friendly design, flexibility, and inspirational components make it an invaluable tool for both beginners and seasoned budgeters alike. This planner is also incredibly sturdy and well made. The inclusion of a pen holder was also a game changer for me as I never have an excuse not to fill out my pages because "I couldn't find my pen"!

I decided that I needed to be a bit more organized about my finances so I did a lot of searching to find a budget planner. This planner was a reasonable price, the perfect size, and has all of the features that I was looking for, plus it’s available in a bunch of cute colors.It has a guide to help walk you through setting up your budget, though the planner is setup in a straightforward, easy-to-use manner. The first few pages help you lay out your personal goals and the steps you can take to reach them. Then it has 12 undated monthly sections, so you can start any time of year and customize as you like. It has pages to make out your budget for the month, record expenses, track income, and keep notes. At the end of each month you can track how well you kept to your budget and it has a pie chart to fill in to see which areas receive the most of your spending.At the back are sections for tracking savings and debts, setting up a holiday budget, tracking overall yearly budgeting, and more. As an added bonus, the planner has a small envelope in the back for keeping track of receipts or other small papers.I also appreciated that this planner has three ribbon bookmarks, which helps to quickly flip from section to section. The included stickers are a fun addition — they’re excellent for adding reminders to the monthly calendar sections.Some people may find this planner to be too compact for their needs, as there are a few sections I felt could use a bit more space, but I didn’t want a large, unwieldy planner taking up space on my desk. This planner is compact and has a band to keep the cover held shut which is a huge bonus, especially if you like to tuck other papers in between the pages as I do. I also appreciate that the paper is of good quality—in many areas I used pencil so I could make adjustments as needed and the paper held up well to erasers time and again.If I decide to continue using a planner next year, I will likely purchase the same planner once more.

This is an easy to use budget planner. Allows you to set goals and keep track of monthly spending. The player itself seems high-quality so far.

I love all the features. It's perfect and helped me visually break down how I spend my money. Great quality as well!

I've tried several budget products from Clever Fox and GoGirl, and this is the one that works best for me. The paper, binding, and printing are all great quality. I like the recent redesign of this one with added sections. (At the time of this review, you need to the watch the product video to see the most recent version because the pictures haven't been updated yet.) The Rose Gold is pretty and looks like the product photos.I like that the monthly budget is all on one page - some of the other products have a 2-page spread for the monthly budget and I just don't need all that space, although people who need more line items for their budget will want to look at those other options. And I like that the monthly budget in this planner has predefined categories. Some other reviewers didn't care for that, but I've found it helpful. I also like the Monthly Review section. It takes a bit of extra work, but it's really helped keep me accountable to my goals instead of just "set it and forget it." I also like that the text in this budget planner is all black (or dark grey) instead of multicolor like some of the other ones. A nitpicky little thing, but I prefer it.I had a bit of a Goldilocks experience trying out several different options from Clever Fox and GoGirl: the "Pro" version is too big, the "spiral" one is too difficult to write in, the budget book doesn't have a review section, etc. So I'm glad to have decided on this one. I hope in future versions they'll include a section for investments and retirement/pension/401(k) items.

I purchased my first one last year in January 2023 and I found it to be the best thing to help keep my expenses organized and helpful to keep track of my spending without being to bulky and complicated. It was a no brainer to purchase this again for this new year.I found that it was simple and easy to understand, there are not too many sub categories and things to have to fill out. It was nice and simple, straight to the point on what my goals are for my finances and how will I achieve them. It provided areas for every expenses, savings, and paying off debt. This was extremely helpful in keeping me on track and maintaining my goals.The only two things that I would suggest is that there are a lot of stickers but a lot of them were not useful and lastly providing envelops for people who like to have a sinking cash fund for anything in particular (Ex. Christmas saving, rainy day, vacation) I believe that would make this even better.

Si lo volvería a comprar!

Estoy súper encantada con esta compra. Tamaño ideal, súper completo. La tapa es muy suave, viene con pegatinas y un sobre al final para archivo. Es fiel a lo que se describe. Ha llegado sin problemas y muy rápido. Este es el tercer modelo de Planificador que utilizo y definitivamente seguiré comprándolo para futuros años. Feliz de haberme decidido por esta marca ¡5 estrellas! ¿Existe la versión en español?

Pratique pour tenir les comptes, voir où on en est, prévoir de mettre de l'argent de coté, prévoir pour les vacances...Savoir visuellement où on dépense le plus d'argent et ainsi réajuster le budget en conséquence. Moi qui détestait ça, maintenant je note régulièrement dedans et ça me permet d'anticiper certaines dépenses ou de stopper les achats en surplus

The media could not be loaded.  Omggggggg I’m so excited. Ok so I need to breath to tell you all I’m about to. I’m a big fan of fox products and they have some super amazing products. Firstly the price is ridiculous - for such a gorgeous product.This budget planner is available in various sizes and so many colours. Soft to touch with high quality paper. It’s broken up into easy sections which allow you to better organise yourself. At the end of this planner there’s a folder in which we find the glossy bright stickers they will definitely come in handy. There’s also examples of each section and what you should be thinking of writing to fill that. How amazing is that.This is a red planner I got mine in A5 size - easy to store away into your desk or handbag. There are 3 ribbons of various hues of red and pink which can be used to mark pages.It has a 60day no hassle refund. How many places would take that financial risk??? Unless they knew that their products were of an incredibly high standard and that people would love them.This tiny planner packs a huge punch- you’d think with its small size how could they possibly include everything.So what do we haveGlitzy useful stickersIt’s a budget planner for the entire year!It’s undatedMonthly expenses, reviews and calendarDebt trackerMoney goals and affirmationsStrategies and tactics about how your going to do thatMost important savings trackerA small elastic attachment to which you can easily fit a pen.Elastic band to close the planner so nothing slips out unexpectedlyWhat I look forward to is buying a completely different colour next year.
