I know I can always count on your vote of confidence.<br /><br />Darren, Thanks so much! I will check into the google docs spreadsheet. I currently use google docs to save word & excel docs I've already created, but never created within it. I will for sure check it out! Glad to know I'm not alone!<br /><br />Thanks Mere! I will Let My Freak Flag Fly...I'm sorry you aren't as nerdy as I am. I guess that makes you guilty by association.?!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02055253864950993196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35189115.post-91436110254985932702009-07-30T00:09:22.678-05:002009-07-30T00:09:22.678-05:00wow, good to know excel is still around. havent u...wow, good to know excel is still around. havent used it since high school. but i totally say Let Your Freak Flag Fly!! i will always love umeredithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35189115.post-58456927387637358252009-07-29T19:37:51.986-05:002009-07-29T19:37:51.986-05:00Hey Rachel, I came across your post on your budget...Hey Rachel, I came across your post on your budget spreadsheet, and thought I'd refer you to a blog I wrote a few weeks ago - about a Google Docs spreadsheet that my wife and I use to track our cash expenditure (down to the last cent - now that is anal!). We sat down to do our budget, and going through credit card statements was easy as we could recall what each item related to. However, ATM withdrawals were a complete black hole (and a big one at that). So, I put the spreadsheet together and we tracked everything for 6 weeks. Now we've got everything under control.<br /><br />Here's the link:<br />http://blog.sumwise.com/2009/07/16/review-google-docs/<br /><br />Let me know what you think.<br /><br />DarrenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943228907885126010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35189115.post-73465181230703538542009-07-29T14:30:18.347-05:002009-07-29T14:30:18.347-05:00This OCD is what makes you the best JA Treasurer E...This OCD is what makes you the best JA Treasurer EVER!!Marshanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35189115.post-21370049743375711502009-07-29T14:22:23.110-05:002009-07-29T14:22:23.110-05:00Melanie,

I mean "It makes me appreciate the things I have because I don't go affording the things I can't." SOOOOOO well said. I CANNOT wait to see what this Baby Hawkins turns out to be like.

And you are not crazy when it comes to checking your bank account multiple times a day...I do it too! You are not alone dear sister. I have a spread sheet too, but haven't kept it up to date lately. Mine has a few more categories...11 total categories...plus a separate one for monthly household (utilities, mortgage) expenses. I also keep all my receipts, each filed into one of the 11 categories from the spread sheet. So if you want to see the receipt from when I got gas on January 3, 2008, no problem...it's right there in my trusty file cabinet. So overall Rach, you are completely normal!! Heck part of the reason you and I are such good friends is because we are both so anal and OCD about things.Angelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35189115.post-40645824042222270462009-07-29T10:46:29.501-05:002009-07-29T10:46:29.501-05:00Oh no, a new category?!?!

I think it has to do that our jobs require us to sit in front of it constantly...maybe! :) I do think you should add another category - 'Baby Expenses' because otherwise, that will definately make that Wal-Mart area go up, up, up! Haha...or, if you use diapers.com, it might have to fall into the unnecessary category - even though it is very necessary!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555450431764258419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35189115.post-14291849757299795152009-07-29T10:32:46.568-05:002009-07-29T10:32:46.568-05:00Good to know.
