There's a simple "add it up yourself" table you could use and there's also the MSE spreadsheet that you just fill in.
Watch this space and I'll point you at them
Edit #1 The table can be downloaded from ---> Click Here (2nd section)
Edit #2 To download a ready made MSE Budget spreadsheet or to simply fill one in on line use ---> This PageHi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.

I work on calendar months, some are four weeks, some five, depending...so the total adds up to 52 weeks. At the start of the year I go through my budget sheet, adding a note to each moth of the start and finish date, and whether 4 or 5 weeks of living money are to be drawn out.
If spreadsheets are still called for, Squeaky, I was planning to modify mine for more general consumption. Just need to delete all my stuff, mark the formula boxes and do a few notes to go with it.0 -

Yes please
Different people work different ways and need differing degrees of control (or not) of their budgets. So the more choices we can offer the better.
I'd be more than happy to have ten or more diffferent spreadsheets for readers to choose from.Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.
