Sitting at your favorite restaurant hand-in-hand with your special someone with a steady stream of culinary delights wafting by, lights down low, and the occasional whispering of what might be violin music from somewhere in the establishment. What was to be the beginning of a night to remember in one sense of the word is now, instantly transformed into a night you would more likely want to forget by the look of distain engraved, as if on granite, worn by the face of your returning waitress; your credit card did not go through! More often then not when we start to speak about a home budget or budget spreadsheet, we tend to focus on the setting up and the working with the budget; as if that was all there was to running a familys home budget; never touching on the broader and more general aspects of home budgeting that interlace to form a overall successful financial picture. The successfulness of your budget spreadsheet will be reflected in how you handle, define, and process all of your financial information. For todays discussion, we will only focus on your familys checkbook and the effects misinformation can have your familys home budget.

Your home budget software or budget spreadsheet should be aiding you in reaching your L.T.G.s. in life. If you are tired of living week by week, month by month, and existing without actually living. And you want the fruits of life and not just the mere act of existence. Then, by all means, I seriously suggest that you start by adding some L.T.G.s to your daily financial diet! Oh... You want to know what L.T.G.s are? Of course! L.T.G. is the short way of saying, "Long Term Goal". I know...Your thinking "Sure, right, my life consists of three Children, one spouse (actually forth child), rent, car loans, and a bank balance that hovers somewhere between going and gone!" Yet, L.T.G.s are not impossible when employing an comprehensive strategy geared from the outset to the achievement of your long term goals in life. As a matter of fact, anyone, at just about any level of income can have and achieve their long term goals in life.

Element two - Your budget spreadsheet or home budget software should provide you with useful information. It should be noted here that the function of a home budget is NOT just to formulate reports on monthly transactions. The function of a home budget is NOT Just to record income and expenses as they occur. Your family is not JUST about living or existing! What about dept management? What about your short and long term goals in life? Part of the totality of any home budget software is to deal with all of these issues. For, it is all of these issues that impact the way you live and the dreams you have about your future. Your home budget software should aid you in the reaching your short and long term goals in life. If it does not, than you should not be using it. Likewise, your home budget software should provide you with useful information about your future projected bank balances. Elements that contain Information such as daily bank balances, your lowest weekly bank balance, and bank balance trends over time (charts). If you are going to budget out your expenses, then those projected expenses will (over time) affect your bank balance. These elements are paramount to any successful home budget. Without their implementation, your financial lifestyle will revolve somewhere between banquettes and begging! Your budget spreadsheet or home budget software should also provide a means of correcting deviations between projected and actual income and expenses. Unless you plan to record every little expense, then expect deviations between your project bank balance and your actual bank balance.
