As you may realize about me already, I like to create my own forms. I have one for my budget and now need it more than ever that I am unemployed. I created my on an excel spreadsheet.
I love using excel, I can create formulas to add or subtract amounts of money. I put in FALSE amounts of money, wishful thinking, so you can play around with the sheet and see how it works. I really like using excel for my budget, I can add a sheet for each month and then create a chart to see how much money I have spent on certain items in a year. Pretty cool, right?

Hubby doesn’t budget, no matter how hard I convinced him. He has his set ways doing things…spending money and paying bills, then complaining when he suddenly has no money for another bill or something of equal importance. But, if it works for him then who am I to complain, LOL *rolls eyes*
What do you use for your budget? Do you budget?

How are you doing with your cleaning schedule? I’m a little BEHIND…Dinosaur was in such a mood yesterday, so I have double chores to catch up on. Thankfully he’s in school today.
{Kathy} I love mint.com. It helps you see where you are all month and keeps track of EVERYTHING for you.
oh, will go check that out.. thanks for the heads up babe.
God bless you. My husband gets so mad at me because he thinks I have no idea about money. Well, I may not budget but I do try to account for every purchase I make. Is this the most economic cola, cereal, cookie? My sister is a CPA. She can do this in her sleep. She got all those genetics I say. Good luck is you are heading back into the job market. Glad you are so financially responsible.
Thanks babe, hoping to find work soon. Yeah, I try to budget though I’m not perfect.
You are so good. I am like your husband -good at spending. Not so good at the tracking! It’s great that you consciously recognize how your brain is set up and how it operates most efficiently.
yeah took me some time to accept that we do things differently and try to push him to do things that I know he does well.
one of the best things that ever happened to our marriage was taking the dave ramesey thing together. we don’t follow it perfectly, but it put us on the same page. when we disagree, we’ve agreed to let dave be right. totally ends the money fights for us.
I’ve heard of him before and would be interested in that, but hubby is not ready to even consider it. I’ve seen small changes in him, when I see more I will mention it. Or I could do it for myself. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!
