Questions

Do I have to use 50/30/20 exactly?

How do I get it?

Checkout is handled by Gumroad. Right after paying you get an instant download link on screen and by email.

US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) PDF. It also prints fine on A4 if you choose “fit to page.”

Can I share it?

It’s for personal use. Feel free to print as many copies as you need for your own household.
