Good spreadsheet template for tracking monthly spending?

I created a basic Google Sheet for tracking my spending but its just a column of numbers and descriptions so not much use.

I saw this one which looks amazing but it's a bit complicated:

Sheet:

Are there any good ones floating around here to keep track and compare of household expenses?

Thanks
