Here's a screenshot with explanation of a spreadsheet I used to use for budgeting a few paydays in advance. If you think this will work for you, I'll post the actual sheet for you. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/puwokqt8rtychlg87hmfz/Budget-spreadheet-example.jpg?rlkey=ge598j7800tmi450kodma8dq4&st=k5h7joi6&dl=0 More on reddit.com

First thing I recommend doing is auditing one month of expenses and compare to your income. I made a spreadsheet to help, or you can do with pen and paper. The goal is to go through all accounts to capture every expense! spreadsheet More on reddit.com

Google Sheets. Each month, you've fixed recurring bills like phone, electricity or Netflix sub etc. so those will go in the first few rows of the sheet. Then after that, the bottom rows will be all the variable expenses. So if today you drink 2x Starbucks + eat 1 burger, you list it in the sheet at night when you're home. Do this everyday. I try to be exact down to the cents. Then use the formula =sum() to tally how much for that month. Then next month, start a new section. More on reddit.com

Haven't seen this dashboard before. It looks great -- I appreciate that its free. I use YNAB for my personal finances and this resembles it; well done for assembly in a Google Sheet! I'm also in RDU so kudos for that. It is obvious that a lot of work has gone into it. We could probably spend some time cleaning up all the calls in the script. I have two questions for you based upon your post: Most of these budgeting apps such as Mint and YNAB really champion connectivity that your transactions can be dumped automatically into the app. I personally don't make this connections and manually update YNAB every single day, but I find that I'm a bit outside of the standard on that -- Is this type of connectivity on the road map for Aspire?
