Hi guys,

I know I've not posted for a while but I have been lurking. Life has given us a massive kick in the you know whats over the past year but we are weathering the storm and coming through it now.

I'm now ready and motivated to kick on with our Debt Free journey.

Would any of you kind soles that are spreadsheet wizards share their spreadsheet for tracking their payments ect. no matter how hard I try i'm useless at it!!!

thanks in anticipation

welcome back!
Hope things are improving for you.
Try the YNAB (You Need A Budget) tool.
Best money I ever spent and gets regular endorsements here.
I'm sure others will be along in a while with spreadsheet alternatives - but I found YNAB to be a complete eye-opener, and it DOES keep me on track.:)

Sorry - meant to say it's an external site through google. Just in case you drive yourself mad looking for it on here :rotfl:

I've subscribed to this thread. Would love a good spreadsheet design..have tried to build one and failed, and can't afford YNAB beyond the month trial.

OK, I've been bored all afternoon, so I thought I would have a bash. You can download a budget xls spreadsheet from here (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/58m07i0jklqny0e/n3c1E0QUVw)

Note, this is purely for budgeting and imitates what YNAB does (after a fashion) but isnt a full replacement for that. Basically, if you fill in the categories it will autocalculate across the year for you. You can add new categories by simply highlighting a row and then right-click and insert. All the formulas will automatically adjust across the board for you.

Let me know what you think and if you want any changes or have any suggestions to make it better.

rather than use a spreadsheet, Microsoft Money is brilliant..I got a link from a posting on this site..you can make all your own categories and see which areas you are spending / areas of potential savings. it is more fun than a computer game.
