Mere: This is the first budget book I purchased and its super cute.
While it seems pretty straight forward, I do wish there was a tiny guide with recommendations on how to use the stickers, or an explanation of each section and how to potentially record things.
Additionally, I found when writing right handed on the pages on the left it was difficult since the spiral is quite large and the margins are quite small closer to the spiral. I found I had to write rather vertically the closer I got to the spiral. Suppose this would be the same issue for a left handed person where the spiral would get in the way.
Additionally, I wish it had a pocket built into it for safe storage of the cash envelopes to keep it all in one place.
Other than that, I am excited to see how this helps me better manage my $$ this year and perhaps next year maybe this product will be redesigned a bit and I can give it a go for a second year. It's clear to see whoever came up with this concept clearly had a great vision in mind which is why I decided on purchasing this one vs the others on the market.

Morgan Grothe: I really like a lot of things about this budget planner: the monthly calendars, the expense tracker pages, the spaces to write goals and reflect on how the month went, etc.
There were a couple of things that I don’t like.
1. There aren’t spaces indicated on the pages where to put the month label stickers, so you have to hope for the best in terms of spacing them yourself. This isn’t a huge deal, but it does bother me that they aren’t evenly spaced.
2. The month labels for Jan-Jul are in caps and the rest are not. Again, not that big of a deal, but bugs me. Also, September is the only month with a 4-letter abbreviation rather than 3. (I’m a stickler for consistency...).
3.This one is personal preference, but I do prefer a slightly larger planner.
Overall, it’s great and I’d recommend it. I’m excited to use it throughout the year!

David PearsDavid Pears: Overall I really like this budget planner! It’s pretty much everything I was looking for. I like the overall setup with the month overview, the blank pages to track purchases individually, and the month in review. I really like the size of this planner as well, but that being said, I do agree with other reviews that I wish the monthly calendar was bigger for more room to write. I also wish that there was more room to include different categories when breaking down the budget. The last thing I wish this planner included is a flap in the back or something like in a bullet journal that could hold the cash envelopes. I love the look of this planner and the stickers are adorable! I would recommend this planner as most of my critiques are personal preferences. It’s definitely helped keep me more organized!

B. Molina: At first glance for a first-time budget planner user, it definitely has what you need, including stickers and space to write. However, the boxes for the Monthly Financial Goals are incredibly small for anything except maybe small handwritten symbols to signify important dates for particular bills. I do like that this page has sections for goals and income.
I do like the Monthly Budget Expenses page and I do like the clean font used throughout the book as it is easy to read. What I do find is the layout does have certain issues; for example, the DEBT TRACKER sheets at the beginning of the booklet don't have a divider page between it and the first MONTHLY FINANCIAL GOALS page. I think this would have made it easier to combine with another planner as I plan to do (I retrofit planners into my leather Filofax for ease of carrying)--this would have also made it easier to figure out where each month starts and ends. NOTES pages are found at the end of each month but again no dividers to signify the following MONTH. I would have liked to have two NOTES pages at the end of each month as that way I could write out any changes in bill or debt status.
The sticker tabs are also a...

Amazon Customer: I liked how sturdy the product is and overall seems like a good budget planner but too small for what I was looking for. It’s hard to write in the calendar part/stickers don’t fit- they go over the date itself. I wish it were a little more organized with what I like.
