I think this article that I just read is a good idea. I just moved into my new apartment and these forms are good to use.

Hey, I created a free budget spreadsheet that takes less than an hour a month to use and only about a half hour to set the entire thing up. It’s simple but people seem to like it. Take a look, http://www.budgetministry.com and let me know if there is anything that I could do to make it better!

Grace and Peace…

That is a sweet form for budgeting. I’ve saved it to may hard drive and hope it will give me plenty of financial help.

thanks again…

I have been using a spreadsheet budget for the past three years. I used to use quicken to monitor my networth and categorize transactions. Now I use mint.com. I like being able to get a big picture automatically. When my paycheck comes in, I look at my spreadsheet and move everything around. I only leave my food, gas, and free money in my checking account so when that’s gone I’m done. I have a second checking account for my monthly bills. However you work it though, a spreadsheet budget can be really useful. I’ve found the best place to keep it is on Google Docs ( http://docs.google.com ). That way I never lose track of it and can access it from anywhere.

A spreadsheet like this is a great starting point. But maintaining a budget in a spreadsheet can be very time consuming. I know, I did that myself for several years. That’s one of the reasons I created NeoBudget (www.neobudget.com). It makes maintaining an envelope-based budget a breeze. It usually takes me about 15 minutes a week to update my budget by importing transactions from my bank and assigning them to envelopes. It really is a lot easier.

It’s not free, but it’s really cheap at $2.50/month. For myself, I would consider it worth the small fee to not have to spend as much time maintaining my budget. Check it out, there’s a free trial with no strings attached.
