These are the ones that bust budgets for young couples. Car repairs, home repairs, yard maintenance etc are all going to happen but folks often overlook because they don't occur monthly.

Looks like it would take more than 15 minutes to enter everything into. Definitely an all encompassing budgetsheet, nice job. @Stephen Holy cow I was just blinded by all the bright colors in your spreadsheet.

I think everyone should do this, even if it's a one-time thing and you don't even track your budget throughout the year. At least you have SOME idea of what the heck you're going to be spending and if you're off the mark.

Oh course I have a spouse to work with so that might be why :-) This year was my first year too. I'm never NOT going to have one. It makes life soooo easy. There are no more money fights, only money talks. We both know what we can spend and that's it. Works great. J. Money - post a pic of the blonde haha I must be a little slow, mine took 20 minutes.
