Format and printing
The 3-page PDF is for printing and filling in by hand. You can also make a personal copy of the Google Sheets companion. Start with its instructions and enter information only in the designated input cells.
An optional AI prompt is included in the PDF. You can use the worksheets without an AI assistant. If you use the prompt, check its answer against your own details before copying it onto the pages.
A useful detail
No. The tracker records your rollover or saved choice. Moving cash or transferring money is a separate action you take.
