I total it at the bottom, then the second line shows me how much I have left for that month, and the final line indicates where I'm at for the year-to-date (YTD) because if I don't spend my entire budget allowance one month, it rolls into the next month.<br /><br />We don't do cash envelopes, so this system might seem crazy to someone who is use to the cash envelope system.<br /><br />I'll discuss the differences of budgets too ... hopefully ;)Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714095129350818129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3484224736391489007.post-50812079644075458982011-03-11T15:42:57.781-06:002011-03-11T15:42:57.781-06:00Ashley, I'm highly confused, but I'm sure ...Ashley, I'm highly confused, but I'm sure you'll clear that up in the next posts when you explain your budget in a little more detail. I understand your Checking Ledger, that part I do understand, but the rest of the pages I'm a little confused as to what exactly is happening on each page (sorry maybe I'm just a little slow...) Anyway, I LOVE the idea and am hoping to see what works for your family versus what works for mine... it should be pretty interesting and I'm hoping to learn some new budgeting tricks.Mallory Eatonhttp://unknownnoreply@blogger.com
