Detailed Budget Spreadsheet

James DeMar

This spreadsheet lets you see spending categories for a typical household. If you are going into debt each month to maintain such a household, you are in big trouble.

You can add categories or remove them. If you are in debt, it’s time to remove them — from your lifestyle first, then from this spreadsheet.

This spreadsheet will remind you of just how much money it takes to maintain a middle-class lifestyle.

This program is a spreadsheet. It requires Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice. OpenOffice is free. Download it here: www.OpenOffice.org.

You need to budget your spending. This is basic: Step #4 in any program of financial liberation.

These simple spreadsheets are easy to use. They are no-frills budgeting tools. Use either of them before you use a full money management program, whether online or on your computer.

The self-discipline of creating a budget lets you see how much you are spending and on what. You will have to cut spending and/or increase income.
