![]() It comes in 2 sizes and a number of styles, but the “Biz” line is definitely my pick, with a more neutral color palate. It is made by Japanese brand Kukuyo, and the paper is a thin paper known as MIO. entirely! The Jibun Techo Biz B6 is about 1/3 the size and less than 1/4 the weight (7 oz) of the LRP above. It’s fairly smooth but not TOO smooth – a Pilot G2 fine point gel pen worked beautiful on its pages and with no smudging issues.Īnd now we switch gears. Oh! A note on the paper – I liked it! It’s described as 70# and is bright white. There you have it! The Live Rich Planner, available here for $44. Below is the back pocket (pockets on both sides) with the included stickers. ![]() Tabs – you put the stickers on, so you get to decide the starting month! As a reminder, this is an undated system. I also love that cute little “workouts” chart! This is a very functional layout. Weekly spread! I love the spacious vertical layout. I also like the tasks spread on the right, but would prefer it NOT to be labelled housework! Okay I LOVE this weekly meal planning page! I just wish there was some way to tear off the shopping list (I KNOW – I’m asking a lot here!). Of note, I highly doubt our monthly expenses would fit on that chart! BUT this would have been fantastic for me during my residency or med school days when things were simpler. ![]() So, I really didn’t have much use for the financial content here. Lovely monthly spread – I like all of the ‘goals’ areas.Īs noted, we are diehard YNAB users and also use an old fashioned (somewhat!) excel sheet to track our investments/savings accounts. I have seem some people “Frankenplan” the LRP into other kinds of rings/discs/etc – could totally see that working well! If it’s going to live on a desk, it may not be an issue, but I wanted to highlight this as it may be a turn off for some. This is because a) the planner holds a lot of great content and b) the paper isn’t thin. It’s hard to see in the above pic, but what I was trying to illustrate was that the rings are quite large – 4cm in diameter. The LRP is a planner with some budgeting/financial elements built into the design. Her focus is budgeting and she has a lot of analog budgeting offerings. She’s got a ton of great ideas and a lot of passion. The LRP is designed and developed by The Budget Mom, aka Kumiko Love. But it would be just fine to live on a desk or countertop! I honestly would not want to tote this around (and I am someone who doesn’t mind toting the Hobonichi Cousin!). ENJOY and let me know if you will be considering either of these unique options! Live Rich Planner I’m a bit late on this post, so apologies if you listened and were disappointed not to find the show notes right away! Next time I will try to be more punctual. Welcome to the very first official review episode! I don’t think I could have chosen 2 different products to review if I tried, though I guess they do have in common both weekly and monthly layouts! BLP released today even though it’s technically a holiday (though I am also on call). Now, I spend 5-10 minutes a day max on budget and I can literally just flip a page to get up to date info on our spending at any given moment.Hi! I forgot that it’s actually a Monday so. I tried keeping a separate planner, but the truth is that after Month 2, filling out all those details over and over again became a chore rather than motivation. It has a list of all my categories and then columns to track the running total for each one every week. So I just have a budget page in each month of my actual daily planner that I carry everywhere. That being said, I've found that the key to sticking with budgeting for me personally is to keep it as simply and integrated into my daily routine as possible. Clever Fox has some great ones, for example. But looking through the website, I'm pretty sure you can get a financial planner on Amazon for half the price or less with all the same features. Personally, I am a huge planner nerd and I do think it's worth spending the money to invest in a good one (IF you are the type of person who will really use it). Sweet baby Jesus, that planner costs nearly as much as an Erin Condren or Plum Paper planner! Just to track finances? No thank you.
