Budget Spreadsheets

[TwinMomPlus]

I need an easy budget spreadsheet (either word or excel) but all of the ones I find online are too complicated for me. Not that I can't figure them out but they include waaaaaaaaay too many expenses and other figures and we already have a bare bones budget so I need a bare bones spreadsheet. Does anyone have one they could email me? Or know of any online? Thanks!

Have you looked at Dave Ramsey's Zero balance budget? I have an excel file where I keep mine (same concept, but not Dave's). If you pm your email address to me, I"ll send a copy of the file to you.

Also, I use Vertex's snowball calculator here

I fill out our budget before the first of each month, spending all of it. Sometimes it works great, sometimes I overspend. It takes months and months of practice to get it right, but I'm getting the hang of it.

i just created my own super simple one.

categories and subcategories (shrink column one down and column two will start right under it) on the left with various subtotals.

have you tried just playing around in excel? i suggest this because then you can make it as simple as you need.

I like Gail Vaz-Oxlade's budget worksheet
Here's a link to the online version: http://www.gailvazoxlade.com/resourc...worksheet.html

and a link to her resources page where you can download a copy to use in excel or open office spreadsheets: http://www.gailvazoxlade.com/resources.html
