Disappointed
The main reason I got this planner was so I would be able to track my debt. I looked and looked before I decided on this one. It came exactly as pictured, beautiful cover, and very sturdy.With that being said... There are only two pages for tracking your bills which are in the back of the planner. There are also only two pages, four entries total in the entire planner to put down and track your debt for the entire year. I will keep it, but had I known ahead of time I wouldn't have bought it to begin with. Disappointed.

Legend’s Perfect Planner
I have tried all kinds and sizes of planners over the past 30 years. This Legend Budget Planner is my favorite!! It’s perfect.The planner is just the right size. Big enough for all of your entries. Pages are divided and sorted in a logical order without being a rigid format. Useable as yearly, monthly, weekly, or daily tracker and planner. There is plenty of extra note taking space and small pouch inside the back cover.The cover looks great and has a great feel. The attached elastic strap is super handy as is the pen holder loop. The paper takes ink well and is quite nice to write on. Light weight, solid, sturdy feel.I am very pleased with this planner and will be buying more of these!!

Stunning Planner :)
This is such. gorgeous planner! I will not be able to start using it until January but I can’t wait! The cover is a stunning hunter green color. The embossed design is also very stylish. Perfect for tracking money ;) the pages are brilliant white and good quality. I also appreciate the book doesn’t give you categories like some other planners. Not everyone has the same categories or expenses. The back of the book has a sturdy envelope I will use to store my cash envelopes. All in all this is a great purchase.

Really love this budget planner!
If you want an easy way to keep track of your budget and get your finances under control, I highly recommend this planner.First, the quality....over nine months in and it hardly looks worn at all. I carry this around in my purse or computer bag, so it gets lots of abuse. The paper is high quality. Some of my entries are in pencil and it erases nicely and I've never had a page tear through.The best part is how useful it is. I was having some budgeting challenges because of a job change, and wanted to be sure I was tracking my expenses and staying inside my budget. I set goals for the year, and have reached them all, and have set new ones that I believe I can can complete before the end of the year. Just being able to visualize where my extra spending was has helped me stay on track. My credit score has gone from the upper 600's to the upper, upper 700's. And I have money in my savings account, more than I've ever been able to save before.Yes, there are some pages I don't use for what they are intended. For instance, the Christmas list pages. I keep track of that elsewhere. So those pages are used for notes.Another user recommended more than one ribbon to mark pages, and that is a great idea. But that is the only thing I can think of that would make this better.

Beware! 🥳
“Beware” w/ five stars? Why, YES! Because it WILL help you maintain a budget if you use it! LoL I have been handwriting my own budget for years. At one point I was even offered a job at a military installation to teach young airmen how to work out a proper budget. The last few years though, I have gotten lazy about it because of health problems. So I have been on the hunt for a budget book that allows you to write your own bills and other expenses, and then track your spending. But all the budgeting books I had found prior to this one all had pre-labeled expenses. These never worked for me, because my expenses were never the same as what was listed.I was about to give up, and go back to hand-creating my budge, when I spied this one on Amazon and thought, “Okay, I’ll try again.” Lo & Behold, this one is ‘almost’ PERFECT! I only have two things I would change, and they are minor:1) That they would add 2 more ribbons in it (each a different color) 1 for the debt tracker pages, 1 for the monthly budget section, and 1 for the expense section. Using bookmarks is okay, but adding two more ribbons would make it much simpler.2) More debt tracker pages. At least 10-12 Debt Tracker sections would be awesome! Most people who have debt have more than 4 credit sources. I filled mine up with 2 student loans and two vehicles. There was no room for credit cards, or the mortgage, etc.Aside from these, it really has a great amount of space to keep track of your spending and financial goals. And it’s small enough to toss in your bag if you need to carry it with you. I also like how it offers an end of month financial review, so you can see if you are meeting your goals and obligations. Did I mention the stickers?Thumbs up for this Budget Book! 👍🏼 Highly recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sturdy, beautiful color, great layout
I researched a few budget planners on Amazon and this one had the best layout. I like that it has a monthly calendar preceding each budget list. I'm able to enter bill due dates on that calendar and get an idea of when I'll expect to be spending more money on bills, etc. The stickers included are great too. The color options were great - I bought the emerald green one and it's such a pretty color. It's also very sturdy so I know I'll be able to carry it around with me without it being damaged or bent.

The Perfect Book
I love the Legend Budget Planner. This planner has everything I need to stay financially organized, My Life Financial Plan, Expense Tracker, Savings Debt Tracker Monthly Budget etc. I wish I had ordered years ago but that's ok. I'm organized now. And I also like the feel of the book cover. I know most people today track expenses, savings etc digitally only but I personally prefer having it digitally as well as written in a book.Thank you so much for creating this amazing book. I wish you much success.

Very basic yet useful planner with blank pages.
Planner is A5 format with thick white, blank pages - no numbers, no currencies, no dates, no months. Start with whichever month you wish and fill pages as you please.However, the monthly calendar layout should have been +1 week as for example this year August runs from Saturday till next pages calendar- should have given the extra week. Now it turns out awkward and split between.Week start day is Sunday- which is random for UK, but ok, I can work around it.I like the sticker sheet- in picture it is visible that I have used some of them already...BUT! The calendar is supposed to be for 12 months- most of stickers are 7-10x each. How I can fill all 12 months with that? It would be great if there would be an option to purchase extra stickers from seller. Just stickers-separately. I do find them nice and useful, plus-gives little colour in the blankness of the pages.Overall I am very satisfied with the planner- it has style and functionality- it can realistically be used in day-to day life to plan budget and see where it can be saved etc.Would recommend to my friends and other people.

Best purchase in 2021 so far
I done my research to find what the best budget planner would be. This is the best one. It’s clearly set out and leaves everything undated so you are fully flexible with choosing when and what time you start. Each month is consistent and there is plenty of space for everything you could think of. The back of the journal contains Christmas expenses and spending to help you keep track of that too. It also has a yearly review so you can track how far you have come. The stickers are a really cute addition! I do however wish they was all the same colour (rose gold) but that isn’t a massive problem. It has a handy pen loop and also a nice bookmark so you don’t loose where you are. If you’re stuck choosing between this budget book and others (such as GoGirl, FoxPlanner etc) choose this one!

Very useful, good quality
Really like this budget planner.The planner comes with an instruction sheet, one was also emailed to me in digital format. This shows examples of how to use the pages along with a an explanation of how this helps which is super useful.I have never thought about longer term financial goals so it was good that it made me think about where I ultimately wanted to end up. It is great that for each month it allows you to split this further into smaller goals which makes things much more manageable. I love that both the savings and debt tracker pages have room for up to 4 different accounts with room to log the transactions, so you can clearly see how your funds are building/debts reducing.It would be useful if the calendar had an additional row, as January this year starts on a Friday, I ran out of space to put the last day of the month. Further, the calendar starts on a Sunday, which isn’t common place, but not a massive issue.I have never written down my individual expenses before and I feel that this is where I may have been going wrong previously, this book allows you to categorise each expense so I am hoping this will help me visually see where I am overspending and can cut back.It’s great that at the end of each month you are promoted by set questions to review how you managed in the month and improvements that can be made for the month ahead.The regular payments tracker towards the end can be useful to monitor if you have any changes in value to your main bills. The end of year summary can be useful to compare your expenditure in each category throughout the year, understanding your spending habits and how they change throughout the year.The book and pages themselves are good quality. The book comes with a selection of stickers, however, the majority of them have around 7 of the same kind. Since this is a 12 month planner it would be useful to have stickers that reflect this.

Must have!
Beautiful budget planner; it has sections for short and long term money plan; encouraging for savings and really good to track your expenses! The book is beautiful too, soft cover and contains stickers( would love a bit more stickers to have enough at least for the year, maybe selling them separately? ) I bought the legend planner first and it was such great quality that I didn’t hesitate to get the budget planner too, very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend to buy for a person that struggles with money, it is full of good advice and it helps to prioritise expenses, absolutely love it!! Oh I read a review sort of complaining about the elastic band, this is a plus, if you don’t have space in the back pocket you can always keep your receipts without fear of loosing them as the elastic band will secure the planner, is fantastic!! Thank you!

Great overview and plenty of lines
To be honest, I was wary when I bought it and more or less hoped I wouldn't be disappointed.But already when I saw (and felt!) the cover I loved it! Really nicely done, good feel to it and good little manifestation imprints on the front.Then the main parts obviously are the pages inside and the layout and I'm well pleased.One page Month Overview with calendar, goal setting, income and savingsOne page Monthly Budget (which I turned into recurring payments)FOUR pages expenses tracker (if you are using all that, jeez)One page monthly budget review (finding that very important, as you can get very honest with yourself here)One page just free space for notes, drawings or a letter to yourself for spending too much :)Overall well done.Love it.
