This one is a repost of my very first WFMW tip! But, since I find that I seem to get hits from search engines often for this one, I thought I would post it again. I have to say, I have been SO happy with keeping track of our budget on the computer, and I can’t believe that I have stuck with it, since I usually start these kinds of things with the best of intentions and then just stop.
So, here is the repost of my very first Works for Me Wednesday:

I just have to share this budgetting tip for those of you out there that enjoy the computer as much as I do. I have tried budgetting before with a variety of methods, but knew using the computer would work best for me.
So, then I read somewhere that I could download a budget form from Microsoft. So…
1. Open Microsoft Excel (if you don’t have Excel, I’m sure there must be other resources out there with something similar)
2. Along the right side, there is a search box. Just search for “budget.”
3. Find the budget that comes up that works best for you and download it! There are a variety — everything from family budget to garden budget to wedding budget.
I downloaded the family budget and have done some tweaking on it. It seems to be working out well so far, and I like that I am finally tracking where our money is going better than I was before.
