I built a complete personal finance OS in Notion — budget tracker, savings goals, FIRE calculator, subscription audit (free template inside)

Hey r/Notion,

I've been obsessed with building the perfect personal finance

system in Notion for months. Here's what I ended up with:

**What it does:**

- Budget tracker with real-time progress bars per category

(unicode bars that update automatically)

- Savings goal planner that tells you exactly when you'll

reach each goal

- Subscription audit — I found I was wasting €67/month on

unused subscriptions

- FIRE calculator built into the dashboard

- Net worth tracker with monthly snapshots

**The technical stuff (for the nerds):**

- 5 interconnected databases with relations and rollups

- 12 advanced formulas built-in

- Works on the free Notion plan

I packaged it into a template you can duplicate in one click.

Link in comments (didn't want to get flagged for self-promo).

Happy to answer any questions about how I built the formulas!

I’ve built and quit 5+ Notion setups. this is the first one I didn’t drop after a week

I’ll be honest, I’m kind of addicted to building productivity systems, but I’m really bad at sticking to them. I’ll spend a few days making something “perfect”, use it for like 2 days, then never open it again because it starts feeling like work. Most of what I made before was basically just to-do lists. You check things off, but it doesn’t really feel like you’re going anywhere.

I’m working 12-hour shifts right now, so I needed something that takes almost no effort to use. What I changed this time was pretty simple:

I stopped focusing on tasks and just started logging actions. takes few seconds. after that everything else happens automatically in the background.

  • it gives XP based on what I did
  • goes into different areas (fitness, learning, money, etc.)
  • skills/levels go up over time

I also added a small reward thing where I only let myself spend on “wants” if I’ve built up enough XP. sounds dumb but it actually helps.

Most of it runs on relations + formulas so I don’t have to think about it after logging. It’s still kind of rough, but I’ve been using it for quite some time now which is new for me.

I made a lighter version of it just to see if this kind of system works for other people too or if I’m just over-engineering my own life.

ow do I get rid of the horizontal scroll bar in Notion table views?

Has anyone actually found a way to get rid of the horizontal scroll bar in Notion table views?

I’m building a personal dashboard with multiple table sections, and I’ve tried everything I can think of:

  • full width page
  • reducing the number of columns
  • shrinking columns as much as possible
  • shortening the text
  • simplifying the layout

But the horizontal scroll bar still shows up between the tables.

I tried switching to List view, and yes, it looks cleaner, but then I lose the column headers, which I still need.

Technically, I can make the bar disappear by zooming out enough, but then the whole page becomes tiny and hard to read.
The first screenshot shows that zoomed-out version.
The second screenshot shows how it currently looks at a readable zoom level.

So I wanted to ask:
Has anyone here solved this in a decent way?
Any workaround to keep table view + readable layout + no horizontal bar?
Or is this just something Notion doesn’t handle well yet?
