Family Budget with Early-Payoff Loan Calculator
Version 1.4 June 2014

This family budget also serves as an expense-tracking record, based on the popular "envelope" method for tracking finances: allocate a budgeted amount for a category at the beginning of the month and watch how the spreadsheet updates the "amount remaining" column with each added expense. It helps plan the budget on a month-to-month basis to eliminate the habit of paycheck-to-paycheck spending. Compatible with Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice, or docs.google.com (first create the google doc spreadsheet, then import.) |
