    Is there anyway to re-arrange budgets? I have 4 at the moment, but wanted to put the one at the bottom on top.

    Thanks
  • I'd find it really helpful to be able print out a budget.

    Budget brain is one of the better oe's to help me sort out finances.
  • I keep having problems accessing my original budget tool. I have had to change password repeatedly so I wonder whether this is the problem? It's just not letting me in!
    Also, when I get a password recovery and activation email, I click on the link but am never asked for my activation code. Am I getting misdirected?

    I cannot log in because I forgot the password.(I actually did know what the password was but it didn't seem to agree with my iPad) I cannot reset the password and cannot get past the capcha system no matter how many times I try. Admin do not respond to me and they won't even send me a reset password link. I think the budget planner is a really great tool and I have used it for 3 years but do not want to input all of the information all over again.

    I had the same trouble. I think I will have to re-input all my data and try not to lose my password again... If it still happens when I have no recent changes to my password I will know it is def a problem with the tool.

    UPDATE: This time I set up my budget tool with a totally different email address and password from the one I use for the MSE forum etc as I realise thatI was confusing myself. Now all sorted with different log in for site and tool as I re-access my budget tool with ease. :T

    I have worked it out for the year and compared to other budget planners, says I'm doing ok.
  • Hi everyone

    New to this idea,but very good tool,hated maths at school,lol

    I have had to take part time now,due to a recurring knee and hip problem,caused by a fall at home last year.
    As a result my pay is quite small,but luckily I live on my own,so I can live well for less (I hope)
    I have done a quick budget which is fairly accurate,but as I live in a mobile home,it uses calor gas,which I found hard to calculate,for I have estimated and entered it quartly,pends on the weather of course.
    How do I save my budget or make changes if needed?
    I have identified areas to prune,and the saving will help to pay off my debt,he,he:D
    Cheers
  • Hi,
    I LOVE this but is there a US version of the Excel spreadsheet, or a way to convert to dollars?
    Is there a way to change the setting in the online tool? I really want to use this!
    Thanks!
