I put it on an excel worksheet and everything. I filled in my fixed budget for every month with formulas to take my net for the month and add it to my savings amount. So when I put in an amount for miscellaneous spending it immediately takes it off the total I can save for the year. I think I am going to find this very motivating.

That is the miscellaneous line. Right now I don`t want to put ANYTHING on that line!

I am going to have to learn how to do formulas. I have a spreadsheet and bunches of categories and it looks cool and I enter in everything I spend then at the end of the month auto sum my line. That is about the sum and substance of my spreadsheet ability.

Formulas in excel are easy! I do revenue minus expenses. Go to the cell you want the total to show up in. Identify the cell that holds your total revenue. For this lets say it`s C7. Then identify the cell that holds your total expenses. For this let`s say that is C35. The formula is =(C7-C35)
