COMPLETE COLLEGE
BUDGET GUIDE
 Hey, you!

Before we get started, I wanted to tell you a little bit about how this college
budget guide came about.

I didn't make this guide as some sort of scheme just to get you on my email list.

I created this college budget guide so that you have a budget template that
actually WORKS.

See, this is based on the way I've been organizing my monthly college budgets
for YEARS. And I'm giving it to you because I know firsthand how stressful it is to
have to manage your money in college when you've already got so much else
going on.

When I started as a college freshman, I had to figure out a way to pay my college
tuition, rent, and other expenses all out of my own pocket.

I was (and still am) determined to graduate from college with no debt at all.

I've made it happen thus far, and I'm continuing to make it happen with this
budget guide and tracker. That's why I'm so excited that you asked for a copy of
this. It WORKS. This will give you a TANGIBLE way to stick to your financial goals
and graduate as debt free as possible.

So, congratulations for taking this step! I know you won't regret it. Now let's get
started.

*BY THE WAY, you'll find a couple of example sheets in this printable that will
guide you through how you can use the customizable templates. I wanted to
make the templates as customizable as possible so that it works for YOUR
budget, but the example sheets offer suggestions on where to start. There are
enough sheets in this printable for ONE MONTH of budget planning. For a whole
year, just print out 12 copies of every template sheet (pages 4-8).

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at lauren@lvdletters.com or DM

me on Instagram at @iamlvd. I'll answer every question as best I can and I'd love
to hear from you!

Happy budgeting!

xoxo Lauren
