Hello,

I've been trying out ideas for managing a yearly budget, but
eventually have given up on it. :-)

How about making the below sheet and having it available for download
or to be e-mailed to me at a later given e-mail address once
completed? :-)

Should be based on the parameters sheet to identify the main elements
as to credit card balences for many cards, four would be ideal, then
their interest rates, annual fees and the minimum monthly payment
defined as a percentage figure by the user.

As to rent, an amount, number of payments per year and a last payment
data to figure out the payment dates for the future and how much would
be required to save monthly.

The monthly tracking sheet would have a raw for the monthly budget,
the actual raw and a deficit or surplus amount raw.

I will use the sheet as an educational example, so it should focus on
that. :-)

I'd gladly help you out, liz, if I knew the first thing about Excel. 
(Missy + Spreadsheets = Disaster, I'm afraid.)

We'll see if we can get someone who's got a handle on that sort of
thing to give a look.

Since you ask, there are two troubles here. One, its going to take
more than an hour to make, and test your spread sheet functions. Two,
once I've done it, I have no method under Google agreement to post
this to you. One method would be to give you the forumulas for each
cell and let you cut and paste them into your sheet. This would be
okay for us, but again, that adds more time to the project and well..
I make more than that an hour.

The only reason I'm posting this is we were talking about how good a
customer you are and we kinda felt bad that no one has responded to
you, even in the comment area.

Thanks,

Hello Webadept,

If I read you correctly, it can use a bit of appropriation on the
compensational side.  As to the exchange of the sheet, I saw on at
least one occasion where a sheet was posted online at an external site
as the response.

How about if I fix the first part, you fix the second part if it
doesn't collide with Google Answers TOS? :-)

Missy,

Ops, it's 'made' not 'make'. :-)
