Financial Assessment -  Update As Needed
Use this form to assess your current finances and spending habits.  Check off all areas that apply to your spending.  Use the "Other" Section below the list provided to note areas not included on the list.

When you are done or want to stop for now, click on the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page.

You may use the results to identify ares to reduce spending. Use the "My Solutions" section to note the items you want to work on, the solutions you try and their success.

You may come back to this assessment and continue to mark off items as you identify new areas and identify new solutions. Look for an email after each time you change your assessment and flag/mark the email so you may find it easily.  Just click on the link in the email to edit and update your responses.   You may also bookmark the form after the first submission to allow you quick access edit your form.

As you implement solutions and eliminate a spending area, you may un-check the box to reflect that it is no longer a spending item for you.

For budgeting, I highly recommend the Goodbudget application.  It uses the envelope method of budgeting and works well.  Go to www.goodbudget.com to learn more.  (Note: I am not affiliated with Goodbudget nor am I being compensated in any way for recommending them here in my post.)
