As you look towards the upcoming year, you’re probably looking into tools to help you achieve your goals more easily and effectively. Andrea de Fraga, a professor at Columbia College, has designed a one-of-a-kind planner that lets you plan, manage, and achieve your financial goals, as well as personal ones.
The Evolve Planner includes a monthly calendar, weekly schedule, goal visualizer, and spending plan. You’ll be able to set your goals and keep track of your progress through visualizing your goals, making a plan, and staying accountable.
This semester, I finally decided to get my life together by planning a budget with one of my friends (she’s a CPA, so that was a Godsend). It took me a good six hours and a lot of finagling an Excel spreadsheet to figure everything out, and it’s still not perfect.
But let’s be real: in college, budgets are necessary. We all like to joke about how we check our bank accounts and have like $3, but wouldn’t it be better to not have to be so anxious about it all the time? Knowing how much money will be going in and out of your account each month frees you up to spend on what matters while saving for the things you’ll need later, like paying off your student loans or adopting a cat (just me?). That’s some serious adulting.
With the Evolve planner, you won’t need your own personal CPA friends to help you budget (though they can certainly help), because it can help you take control of your finances on your own. Plus it’ll help you get on board with that planner craze, and you can show off your cute handwriting on Instagram.
