The Budget Book 2027

The Budget Book 2027 is a complete, practical budgeting system designed to help you organise your money, prepare for future expenses and make confident financial decisions throughout the year.

Created by Irish Budgeting Mammy, this is the seventh annual edition of the bestselling Budget Book and has been designed around the reality of managing a household budget — irregular bills, rising living costs, family expenses, unexpected costs and the months when your money seems to disappear faster than expected.

Rather than relying on complicated spreadsheets, multiple notebooks or budgeting apps you forget to update, the Budget Book 2027 gives you one clear place to manage your finances from January to December.

Each month helps you plan your income, organise your regular bills, account for everyday spending and decide where your money needs to go before you spend it. You can track your progress, review your spending habits and adjust your budget as your circumstances change.

The Budget Book 2027 also helps you prepare for expenses that do not happen every month but can cause financial pressure when they arrive. By using sinking funds, you can gradually put money aside for costs such as Christmas, back to school, birthdays, car repairs, insurance, holidays, home improvements and annual bills.

Inside the book, you can:

• Create a realistic monthly household budget
• Record all sources of income
• Plan regular and irregular expenses
• Track bills and payment dates
• Monitor everyday spending
• Build emergency savings
• Create and manage sinking funds
• Set savings and debt-repayment goals
• Prepare for annual and seasonal expenses
• Review your finances at the end of each month
• Identify where you overspent and make a new plan
• Track your progress across the full year

The layout is straightforward, practical and easy to follow, making it suitable for beginners, busy households and anyone who feels overwhelmed by traditional budgeting methods. It is also designed to be ADHD-friendly, with clear sections that help reduce mental clutter and keep important financial information together.

This book does not expect you to have a perfect income or follow an unrealistic budget. It allows room for real life, changing circumstances and the occasional treat. The aim is not to restrict every part of your life — it is to help you spend intentionally, prepare for what is coming and stop being caught off guard by expenses you already knew would arrive.

Whether you want to save more, reduce debt, manage household bills, prepare for a major expense or simply understand where your money is going, the Budget Book 2027 gives you the structure and tools to create a plan that works for you.

You do not need to be “good with money” to use this book. You just need to be ready to start.
