Day-by-Day Budgeting Software

Hi, I'm not sure if this is in the right group, but.. does anyone know of software that will allow me to enter all the due dates of bills and days we get paid so we can easily see how much money we need available on particular days? Thanks.

  • Microsoft Money is very good, although requires persistance and determination to set up. Otherwise, you can create your own spreadsheet for such tasks in either Microsoft Excel or the free OpenOffice

  • I've set up a speadsheet for the whole year. It works on a daily basis. I've set it up with all by direct debits, standing orders. etc. I keep it up to date every time I use the cash machine or write cheques. It gives me an available balance for each day and the balance left (if any) at the end of the month. I've been using now for about 2 years and I've found it a great help, in keeping things sorted.
    My £2 savings total for 2007 = £92, for 2008 = £124
    My savings from money off coupons for 2007 = £67.97, for 2008 = £194.79
    My £2 savings for 2009 (so far) = £130
    My savings from money off coupons for 2009 = £593.08
  • Has anyone got a template or know where I can download one from for such a spreadsheet that I can play around with? Thanks.
