MD, your helpfulness knows no bounds.:D

Soonerhubler, if you know Excel and have it on your home machine, it provides a downloadable budget template that's kind of clumsy, but works. Type "budget" in the help box at the top right and you can find it. If that's too detailed, I have a modified version that works pretty well. PM me and I can send it to you.

If you don't have Excel, grab a sheet of graph paper and follow MD's instructions. :rolleyes:

Don't know if you have ever heard of this guy, but he's got a lot of ideas that make sense. This form I've linked is very basic, but maybe that's what you are looking for. Good luck to you.

Microsoft Money comes on most systems and has a budget feature.

Pay yourself first. Put 10% of each paycheck in the bank.

You're welcome.

Pfffft! Ignore them, they don't get it. You have two choices.
1. Win the lottery. And I'm NOT sharing my numbers with you - not that they've done much for me. :(
2. Get a job that pays better.

I find it rather profitable to knock off a 7-11 from time to time.

Trade in all your money for Pesos. Then you'll have like ten times as much.

You're welcome.
