"I'm using a spread sheet for this family budget. Programs that you can use for this includes excel from Microsoft Office for Windows or Mac. Number from I work from just Macs and you also can have alternatives. Such as Open Office for Windows and Mac and then legal documents. Some of the formulas that we use are basically really simple. Addition, subtraction, sorting, coping, pasting, and a little bit later we would do coloring. For example on addition we would be using equal of sums of E6 through E19. If you look here we would go back and you would see sales E6 through E19 and in sum down here and sale E20. The same here in column G where I had my difference I"m using simple subtraction formula column F minus column E. You can see that right there so we have subtraction. One thing that I like to do with the budget is sort it by the due date so I know in sequence when your bills are due. That is pretty easy to due in Excel it is work function."
