Just because my husband pays the bills and is responsible for the finances, doesn't mean I can't help him out by tracking my spending. From groceries to pay day to personal purchases (like a new Filofax, amiright?) I've put a wallet/financial system together in my gold compact Saffiano Filofax. It's gold, it was inexpensive, and it's slightly smaller than a personal size Filofax in the width and ring size–perfect!

My goal was to have something of similar size to my current wallet, because I could fit my iPhone in it. I'm not a fan of carrying a purse, so if I can just grab and go with one thing in hand, then I'm totally on board!

Here's my setup, it's still a work in progress and it'll probably change as I see fit:

Divider One//

Credit card and receipt holders

I ordered multi-purpose holders from Filofax, they're perfect for a credit card at the bottom and have a top loading pocket above that I like to store receipts or coupons in.

Check register

I have one of these behind each credit card/receipt holder that coordinates with the card so I can balance my account and keep track of my spending from that day.

Divider Two//

Stickers

Week on 2 Pages

I write down on the date when the money is taken out of the account and place a sticker so I remember which account it came out of, also some details about the transaction to jog my memory of the purchase.

Divider Three//

Card holders

I store any reward cards, gift cards, or business cards in here.

List/note paper

I cut down mostly just Target dollar spot note and list papers to just use on the go.

Finance Routine

At the very least, I sit down on Sunday and do the following: open my bank account that coordinates with a certain card, pull receipts out, and flip to my weekly calendar. On the date that it cleared I add a sticker that coordinates to that account, where I spent money, how much was spent, and any other details to note (like what I bought). Then I toss receipts or file them away.

Here's a detailed video (my debut to YouTube, so be nice) of my setup for your viewing (hopefully) pleasure! Please don't hesitate to ask questions, or share any helpful suggestions.
