October Budget Planning with the Budget Mom Method // Classic Happy Planner

[@anaortiz9224]

Omg thank you! I was trying to figure out the best way to bind my new budget by paycheck workbook pdf. This looks perfect for me!

[@BelovedPlans]

You're so welcome! Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@anaortiz9224]

@@BelovedPlans as a matter of fact I do :) what are the cuts you used to size it down. You cut four times. Can u recall the measurements of each cut? That would be great help

[@grisellcifuentes]

Finally a well explained video how to print cut and hole punch the BPC workbook! Ordered supplies and excited to print on Tuesday🙂

[@BelovedPlans]

Glad it was helpful! Let me know how it goes!

[@grisellcifuentes]

@@BelovedPlans i kind of did it, I couldn't figure out the 2 page one, for some reason I can't move it to the middle when I scale it down to 84% but otherwise my June budget is now in my planner that I can put in my purse. The black pens are awesome! Thanks

[@hyacinthhale7412]

This is how I want to do my budget book for 2021. I have the BBP book and a mini happy planner. I really like how you married the 2 planners. Thank you.

[@BelovedPlans]

It's been working so great for me personally these last couple of months!

[@loribabineaux2945]

I found TBM about 2 weeks ago and joined the 2020 saving challenge right away. Now I am saving to purchase the printable workbook. Thanks for explaining how you set yours up and printed it. I am very excited to get going with this

[@BelovedPlans]

That’s awesome! You will love it!!

[@PenniesNotPerfection]

Looks great! It’s funny I do a similar method that I figured out through trial and error then met her at a conference and was like... yasss teach other people to not waste time figuring it out! Lol. Great video! New subbie! I love finding other happy planner people.

[@BelovedPlans]

That’s awesome! I would love to meet her someday! I just love how real she is

[@Monica_MMO]

Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you figured that out. I also follow TBM and I was hesitant to buy her printables because I was unsure they'd work out with the happly planner classic size. Thanks! I will be getting my printables ASAP as I will be setting my new planners for next year, soon.

[@BelovedPlans]

Awesome! I'm so happy you found the video helpful! Can't wait to see your setup!

[@samantharocker8797]

Thank you so much for doing this video! I just spent an hour trying to make my own budget pages for my happy planner. I got one done. It's alright. But I love love love The Budget Mom and her stuff so I was thinking of trying this. Didn't know how successful it would be. But clearly it works!

[@samantharocker8797]

Alright. I tried this. I reduced the printing to 84% and I am using the double sided binding PDF....but the pages don't line up one behind the other. If that makes sense. If I were to cut the sheet to fit into my happy planner, I would be cutting into part of one of the pages.... Am I doing something wrong?

[@BelovedPlans]

Make sure you’re using the version of the workbook that says Print for Binding, then they should line up with the margins!

[@julie7035]

Looks really nice! I also got the pdf, but decided to get an EC monthly deluxe and write it all down myself. But I will definitely use her methods.

[@BelovedPlans]

That’s works too! Thanks for watching!

[@nikkiedwards7475]

Love the folders is that hp?

[@BelovedPlans]

Yes, it is! Here's the link to some that are similar! tinyurl.com/y5muo3qa

[@Hend4949]

How did you make it to size for your planner?

[@BelovedPlans]

For the classic size if you print it at 84% and trim it down and punch it fits perfectly!

[@APinkeClothlife]

Love this video! What type of whole punch are you using?

[@BelovedPlans]

It's the ARC punch from Staples, but Happy Planner also makes one you can use!

[@macimendez7893]

Omg you’re a genius, I have been trying to figure out how to do this forever and juts stumbled upon this video, I ran toMichael’s to get me a planner and bought TBM’s workbook printable, would you be will to do a video step by step on how you print these from a MAC I think I’m having trouble trying to get them on their right sides to be able to utilize correctly, you would be a life saver!! Thank you!!

[@BelovedPlans]

Yes, I'd be happy to do a step by step video on that! I'm so happy you found this helpful!

[@dpall5597]

Great video! So I chose the double sided digital link and printed at 84% for my classic HP. However, when I wanted to trim the margins weren’t line up? Are you able to show/tell me how to get the (double sided) margins to line up before I print?

[@BelovedPlans]

Yes! I had that same issue at first too and then realized that I was printing the version intended to be one sided. The other version that is in the folder is the “bound” formatted on and that one worked perfectly for two sides!

[@abbyfuentes1306]

I can not get to line up correctly, even using the file for book binding. If I trim down one side of paper it cuts off the back side writing 😤🥺

[@joyski7751]

Beloved Plans I too am having the same issue, I choose the book binding pdf and downsized to 84% and the pages are off set and if I trim it down it’s cuts off the back of the other page. Is there another setting you choose when you printed?

[@gracepabustan7695]

How did you print the printable to fit the happy planner?

[@BelovedPlans]

Hi Grace! If you print it at 84% of the original size, you can fit it into the Classic Sized HP

[@tcharlize9]

Hi, where do you find the cover its your year I love the colors.

[@BelovedPlans]

It's from a package of just HP covers, I am pretty sure I got them at JoAnn's!

[@tcharlize9]

Thanks

[@tiffany-lifestyle]

Is the paper you printed the BBP as thick as the Happy planner paper?

[@BelovedPlans]

No, I just used regular printer paper.

[@michellejames8709]

Can you tell me what the cuts are that you do? For instance: your first cut is at 8.25 and the 2nd cut is 10.25 and so on? I am having a hard time seeing the lines on your cutter.

[@BelovedPlans]

Yes i will look for you tonight!

[@BelovedPlans]

Ok, found them! The first cut is at 10.25" and the second is at 7.75". I hope that helps!

[@julierasetta4811]

where did you find the matching monthly budget pages? and the bill tracker? I purchased the workbook as well and am working on getting it into my happy planner and i'd love to have those as well!!

[@BelovedPlans]

Those were from the free downloads page on her site!

[@JENNiiiFERRx3]

Love this!!! Makes me want to go back to paper budgeting and not digital. Great video! 💕

[@BelovedPlans]

I tried digital in SO many different ways, but this is really what seems to be working best for me right now!

[@lupepio6280]

Where can I find your planner?

[@BelovedPlans]

The cover and discs I am using are from The Happy Planner. I then got the Arc punch from Staples (linked in the description) and I used the printable version of The Budget Mom's workbook and printed it myself, punched it and put it into the planner. So, it's a combination of different things!

[@mybudgetjourney4873]

How did I just find you??? Subscribed 👌🏻

[@BelovedPlans]

Excited to have you here!

[@budgetboss_j9920]

Hello I’m looking through all of your videos trying to figure out how to get the worksheets to fit the happy planner. I scaled it to 84 and used the bound sided printable however when I go to cut it on side gets cut off because the pages aren’t lining up. I saw some other comments saying the same thing. I think we are missing a step. Can you help us out please!!!

[@BelovedPlans]

Are you using the version of the workbook that is called "For Book Binding"? That's the one I use and have it print double sided! I print through either Adobe Acrobat or Preview on Mac. Let me know if that doesn't solve it for you!

[@budgetboss_j9920]

Beloved Plans when I opened it up in adobe acrobat it allowed me to make the correct changes. I originally opened it up from my email and it didn’t work but when I went back to TBM’s website where I made the purchase it opened up in adobe and it worked out. Thanks so much.

[@BelovedPlans]

Awesome so glad you got it to work!
