Default Re: What's your budget system?

Using the information found here, I use an Excel spreadsheet. It is an envelope system on the computer. I inputted the amounts in the budget that I had for each category, then every day, Hubby and I subtract from those amounts what is spent (if anything) and then we can see what is left for the month to spend. He helped me set it up cos I didn't know how to run Excel. But so far, it has worked real well. I do better with a starting point and subtracting out--like an envelope. I just didn't do real well on funding the envelopes cos I have many categories. It made too many envelopes.
