So if you have struggled with budgeting in the past and just want a simple solution that works, definitely check it out. It is a simpler, easier, and more effective alternative to traditional budgeting.
And I struggled to find anything that worked for Linda and I until we discovered the Real Money Method. Long story short, I have been testing out budgeting apps, software, and spreadsheets for the last 13 years (I know pretty nerdy). If you have a spreadsheet that you have built or have found (that is free to distribute) please provide a link to it in the comments below. Some may also work with Google Docs, but I have had bad luck with some of my imports into Google Docs.Įach of the budgeting sheets below have their own strengths and weaknesses, so give try them out, see what works, and make tweaks and changes if necessary. But whether you like to create spreadsheets or just like to use them, we have a lot of good options for you!Įach one of the sheets below are free and are designed to be used with Excel, but will more than likely work if you use OpenOffice (basically a free version of Microsoft Office).
