The last perspective is the authors and is reflective in the type of budget spreadsheet or home budget software he has designed for you to use. This is the authors commitment in aiding you to reaching your long term goals in life. It should be interjected at this point that the purpose of any budget spreadsheet or home budget is only to provide useful information in one form or another.

That there are two perspectives or driving forces that impact your ability to reaching your long term goals in life.

These tables are quite efficient because they are automated with the same tabs that reflect a gain or a loss in normal ledger accounts. If at the end of the calculation the total is shown to tilt towards more expenditure, it appears automatically in scarlet numerals whereas if the total figure leans towards gains, then it is highlighted in a dark shade. This is often the lead that gives the user the assurance to go ahead planning using the same convenient table. Budget spreadsheets also aid in tracking expenditure due to the fact that they can be compatible with a number of similar technologies. They can be used in creating lists in emails as well as for being copied by browsers on a page to be viewed on another program. They can also be used to fill in data that has been scraped from any template because of their high compatibility.

Dont Forget About Transportation When choosing a place to live, consider transportation costs--fuel, commute, and the wear-and-tear on your vehicle. As a general rule, living within 15 or 20 minutes of the workplace and doctors office can save a lot of fuel, travel time and lengthen the life of your vehicle. Lastly, include an estimate on the monthly budget spreadsheet of how much youre planning to allot for entertainment. That way, you can save up your "entertainment funds" for something bigger (like a vacation) or spend it on smaller perks. Its also important to save some for emergency funds as well, because cars break down and people do become ill. All of this and anything else you can think of as a potential cost should be included on the spreadsheet so youll have some idea of what youre going to spend before you have to spend it. As each month passes, simply update the spreadsheet to reflect actual costs.
