Complete each section as accurately as you can. Round numbers and estimates are fine — we can refine anything together. When in doubt, use annual figures and note whether each amount is monthly or annual.

A few things are intentionally left out: income sources, investment and retirement accounts, and tax considerations are each handled in separate parts of the planning process. If something doesn't seem to have a home in any of these six categories, add it to the notes section at the bottom.

1

Loans and Debt

Mortgages, HELOCs, car loans, student loans, credit cards, and any other borrowing. Choose a type for each and add one entry per loan or card.

Notes and Context Use this space for anything that doesn't fit above

This is a good place to mention expenses you're uncertain about, items that are changing soon, anything that felt like it didn't belong in a category, or context that would help us model your situation more accurately. Income, investments, and tax considerations are captured separately. This is for everything else on your mind.
