What is a Digital Budget Planner?

A digital budget planner is a planner designed to be used solely on your iPad with an Apple pencil. Some digital planners are hyperlinked, so you can click on a tab and jump straight to the page you need to get to.

It’s a PDF meant to be used with a PDF annotation app, such as GoodNotes (which is free to download in the app store).
