Part 2/6:
Paula begins by introducing the new budgeting format she has set up on Google Sheets. The tool allows her to manage expenses efficiently and dynamically, avoiding the excessive use of paper while still tracking her spending. The spreadsheet includes categories for each expense, the amounts spent, and automated calculations that simplify the process. Participants can easily see where the cash is allocated and plan their repayments accordingly.
