Activity 7: Organize My Recurring Monthly Expenses

(This activity is also available as a blank, downloadable and printable PDF – Download Blank Activity 7 Worksheet)

Make a list of your fixed recurring monthly expenses and decide whether each expense is a need or a want. Recurring expenses are expenses that keep happening in the same way month after month. You’ll use this information later when you put together your money map.

  • Step 1: List each expense and select either need or want.
  • Step 2: Write the amount you spent next to the expense.
EXAMPLE: Fixed Recurring Monthly Expenses for SEPTEMBER
