luclatulippe: From me to you.  This is the spreadsheet** Doug and I have on our fridge which we use to jot down monthly expenses and income as they happen. BY HAND. You won’t believe how much this has helped us. No “app” has managed to do for us what this simple sheet of paper has.  It’s not meant to replace proper bookkeeping, but rather to give us an overview of how we’re spending our money. I’ve uploaded it for public use (versions: Numbers, PDF, or Excel* I tried creating an Excel version from within Numbers, but it really mangled it up, sorry) so grab it, customize it, use it, redistribute it, etc… * Big THANK YOU! to Susie Ghahremani for creating a proper XLS version for us! ** The multiple grocery boxes are because we have the luxury of several food stores within walking distance from our home, and we like to track how much we’re spending at each one. Plus we eat a lot. And we love wine at dinner. :)
