Our budget template has been several months in the works now, what with my Twin Sis traveling all over Africa and me just trying to managing a family and a new blog venture. You likely aren’t quite as excited as us, but I know that a few of you have been eagerly awaiting our new budget template.(hosted by Media Fire)
First, I must give the bulk of the kudos to my better half, since she’s the Excel genius who really crafted the template’s stellar formatting. I’ll only give myself credit for tailoring it to meet family budget needs.
I’ve used various budget templates over the years, originally simple self-made ones and then a few found online. Yet, none of them quite did the trick for me, and one of my biggest frustrations was not being able to see each month at a time and how the months blur together visually. This budget template helps draw your attention to important things, like when you are over-budget the
font turns to red
. The final page also shows you your averages, which is really key to understanding and changing your financial priorities.
Please post comment if you download, we’d love to know that our time and effort is helping you meet your family finance needs! We’d also like to continue to improve the template, so your feedback is important to us!

Sustainable Family Finances
The story of a family creating an abundant and sustainable life.
By being disciplined as well as organized in dividing your money between labeled accounts you can restrict your spending, be more accountable for your money as well as being aware of the money you are able to spend to live a comfortable life. I feel the urge to budget now.
It really helps a lot if you will know how to budget your money. With these tough times, even an expenses sheet is already useful in monitoring your expenditures.
