Question

I am going to print the budget workbook. For my ladies that have does this what spiral did you use to put it together? Links on amazon would be helpful.  

Answer 1

I just used a three ring binder and made my own page dividers with tabs (I didnt print out the between month pages to save paper) with water damaged scrapbook paper I had laying around.  

Comments

@dais same! Plus if you bind it and need to reprint a page, it’s a hassle. Binder all the way

---

@chanticleer yes! I've refigured on a couple different pages and it was super easy to swap them out!  

Answer 2

I printed double sided at home and bought the large Happy Planner rings. You can find covers also at Office Depot for the Tul brand that will fit the happy planner. I bought Tul month dividers.  

Comments

Is there a punch that goes with the Happy Planner rings?  

---

I have the happy planner system too. I think it’s the best because it’s bound like a book but can add and remove pages as you wish.  

---

@increasing29 I love the happy planner! What a smart idea, might have to try this method next year to keep all my books (recipes/grocery lists, daily planner, business planner and fitness) the same size!  

---

They also have ones at Staples by Martha Stewart they're the arc binder brand but they use the same punch system! That's what I use and love it because it's a hard cover

---

@colour the punch for the big size is $49 which is needed for the TBM sheets. whats way too much for me.  

---

@ween286 buy it online from michaels. There is also a code to get another 20% off when you buy online.

@demandant5 can I ask what the cost was? I have a Cinch binder but I'd love to have OD print it on thicker weighted paper

---

I didnt have Office Depot print it so I cant speak to that, but you could always purchase the thicker paper yourself for your home printer. I cant remember how much the dividers were, but the binding itself is only about $5.  

Answer 12

Happy planner, and I love it.  

Comments

But the BIG size punch is so expensive. Otherwise I would definately try it.

I used a 50% off coupon at Joann's and got it.

I am still new to all this. Where do I find the budget workbook to print out?

Marisol Flores Def would suggest getting the Large Disc for it too

@kowtko oh ok I got it thanks!  

Answer 21

I prefer a 3 ring binder because I like to be able to replace pages if I make a mistake and add things like folders to hold my bills for the month and my weekly menu

Answer 22

I did a three ring binder and bought the avery dividers (1-12) that Kumiko uses.

---

@cauliflower thanks.  

Answer 24

I print as I do because I don’t need all the pages so I didn’t want to waste paper or ink

Answer 25

3 ring binder at the dollar store

Answer 26

You can also print them and 3 hole punch them to go in a binder too

Answer 27

I print and put directly into my happy planner. Love it!  

Answer 28

I actually bought the book but transferred it into a binder and prefer it that way.  

Answer 29

We just hole punch and put in a 3 ring binder.  

Answer 30

I printed it out and tossed it in a binder. Lol I mess up and like being able to remove pages and reprint.  

Answer 31

A lot of people used a binder so you can take sheets out and put them back :) Some used Happy Planner rings

Answer 32

It cost me $5 at Office Depot to spiral it

Answer 33

I used an old Mead FlexBinder. A year of TBM needs at least 1 1/2” binder. Maybe 2” to be comfortable

Comments

I also used the month tabs you can buy. But had some from previous projects

Answer 34

I really recommend just using a 3 ring binder and only printing a few months at a time and the beginning section of the book. And only print what you need. I printed the entire thing and realized now how much money I wasted. I get two paychecks a month (3 twice a year) but the book has more than I need/use. Printing is expensive so you can save a ton by being mindful of what you need. Plus if you bind the entire thing then you have a much bigger book to manage/lug around. I downsized and keep the current month and the next month and some other sheets in at a time.  

Answer 35

I print a few months at a time and add to my happy planner.

This ☝️

---

I just got a big happy planner and a punch and am going to do this also.  

Answer 36

My sister wasn’t able to get hers to print so she contacted Miko to see about exchanging it for a hard copy of the workbook (and paying the difference) and Miko wouldn’t do it.  

Comments

@mickey the hard copies are out of print until October.  

---

And I’m confused. The digital copy is just a PDF. There shouldn’t be an issue printing a PDF.  

---

I don't think there are really hard copies to be exchanged for unfortunately so even if it was a thing to be able to do it, the stock isn't there until later in the year. I'm sure she could get help with the printing?  

Answer 37

I printed mine at home and just put it in a 3 ring binder and it's working great! And if I need to reprint I just do it and replace the page (especially my first few times doing it)

Answer 38

3 ring binder I already had so I wasn’t spending any additional money! I only have 3 months at a time in it so I carry around with me daily. Keeps me motivated also doing it like that
