How does a personal cash flow statement help you organize your finances?

A personal cash flow statement helps you budget your money. It shows you what you are spending your money on. It can help you plan how much you can save each month. It also shows you what your bills are and how much they are. The statement can also be a great tool to use to rebuild your credit. It is great for tracking payment of your monthly bills.
