Description
This worksheet was created to be used as an educational resource for personal finance classes. It includes a fairly comprehensive set of expense categories and was designed to be easy to understand and simple to customize. It's mainly for people who don't already use Quicken (you can generate a report like this from Quicken very easily via the Reports menu).
Although there are some really cool things that can be done with Excel to make this worksheet more useful, I have intentionally kept this template simple. Quicken was my personal tool of choice when it comes to personal money management (before they switched to a subscription fee). If you want to use a free spreadsheet with the ability to enter transactions in account registers like you do in Quicken
