How to start
Unzip the download and open the PDF for your paper size.
Print the pages you need. Skip the car log if there is no car.
Start with the subscriptions and bills calendar: go through one month of bank statements and write down everything that repeats.
Keep the binder somewhere everyone in the house knows about.
Filled in, and blank

Questions it answers
- What renews next month, and how much is it?
- Where is the boiler warranty?
- Who has a spare key?
- How do I cancel that subscription, exactly?
Licence, Delivery, Updates and support
- Licence
- Personal use: for you and your household, on your own devices, printed as often as you like for yourselves. No reselling, sharing or using it for work. The licence in full
- Delivery
After payment your download link appears on screen and arrives by email. It works for 7 days and 5 uses (a download, or opening a Sheets or Notion link). If it runs out, ask for a new one on the lost link page.
- Withdrawal
- If a file doesn't open or doesn't match its description, we'll fix it or refund you. Because the files arrive straight away, you'll be asked at checkout to agree that withdrawal ends once you start a download or open a link. How withdrawal works
- Updates and support
- If we fix something in a file, you get the fixed version free, for as long as we sell the template. Questions go to support@dreamassetsstudio.com or +33 6 31 35 65 29.
Probably not for you if
- You want somewhere to keep passwords or card numbers. The password page is for hints only, and paper is not the place for the real thing.
- You want reminders when bills are due. Paper cannot do that; a calendar on your phone can.
- You need a tablet version with links. This one is for printing.
- A note on advice
- Dream Assets Studio templates are planning and tracking tools. They are not financial, tax, legal or investment advice, and they don't know your personal situation. Example figures are made up. You're responsible for what you enter and for the decisions you make with the results.

Questions about this one
Is there a password page?
Yes, for hints only: a reminder of which password you mean, never the password. A password manager is a safer place for the real ones.
Can I fill it in on screen?
In GoodNotes or Notability, by writing on the pages. It is not a fillable form.
We rent. Is it still useful?
Yes. The home log and the contacts page have room for the landlord or agency and for what you have reported and when.
Is the checklist for France?
No. The annual checklist is generic and country-neutral; you add the deadlines that apply where you live.
