Building A Budget

Posted by Beau On February - 4 - 2010

I’ve never successfully made a budget before, and I really need one. I make plenty of money, but I over spend a lot and don’t keep good enough track of my bills.

My father keeps asking me if I’d like help making a spreadsheet for my budget, but I’ve been thinking about using Intuit QuickBooks. I know it isn’t a free product, but I want to try it out and see if I like it. I can have it automatically connect to my banks to download my transactions, and then create a budget for me.

From there, I can fine tune the budget, and track my bills better.

Have you set up a budget? Did you stick with it? How did you set it up? Did you use something like QuickBooks? Leave me a comment.
