Want to create a monthly budget but don’t know where to start? By using a simple spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel you can create a budget in a few minutes.
Here’s how to get it done!
Step 1: Open Excel or your favorite spreadsheet program, open a new spreadsheet and give it a name. If you want to lighten up the budgeting process, give it a positive name like ‘The Best Life Budget’
Step 2: Create four columns and name them: Category, Monthly Budget Amount, Actual Amount and Difference. If you want to really track your budget on a closer basis, add a column for each week of the month. It will look like this:
Category | Monthly Budget Amount | Week 1 Spending | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Monthly Total Spending
