Advanced Expense Tracker v1.0 (EN)

Lately, my expenses have been really high! Starting from going to the mall with my wife and kids, buying this and that, even buying a work desk that can go up and down to support my daily work from home. What do I do? Yes, typing documents that are not aligned on the left and right, aka… coding. 😄

However, from here I realized: if we don't record our expenses and budget allocation properly, we will definitely end up broke! At least, by recording our expenses, I can know the total each month and immediately put the brakes on if it starts to go overboard.

Finally, I tried making an expense tracker template in Notion. Previously, I had tried using free templates—from Excel to Notion—but I thought it was still too complicated, especially if opened via cellphone! So, I made a template that was simple, easy to use, could be used for budget allocation, had a form that my wife and I could input directly from our cellphone, and was complete with a monthly report so it was clear where our money was going.

After 2 days of tinkering, it's done! Here it is: Advanced Personal Expense Tracker by myself, haha. Now, while we just got paid, my wife and I will try to use it to track next month's expenses. Who knows, maybe we can save and add to our savings.

A glimpse of the features of this Notion template that you can get without the hassle of looking at boxes in excel:
1. Add all wallet lists for monthly budget allocation.
2. Input outgoing and incoming money using a form, no need to open a laptop!
3. Daily, weekly and monthly reports are made simple and easy to read.
4. You can see what this month's expenses and previous months were used for.
