Financial Planner-ing

Over on Philofaxy today I have a post on how I'm using my personal Filofax to track expenditures, list comparative prices, and try to help me keep costs down.

I'm also using my weekly/ monthly planner to write in paydays and bills on the dates they are due, record weekly and monthly categorized totals (groceries, petrol, etc.) and distill all my figures down to determine if I'm staying on budget or going over.

I haven't seen the show, but recently a friend told me about one of those "extreme couponing" shows where the woman used her planner extensively to keep track of coupon expiration dates and money saved.

Do you use your planner for financial planning, tracking expenses, budgeting, couponing or saving money?  Please leave a comment!
