There’s a lot of power in making numbers do what you want them to do.
Microsoft’s Excel, helps you harness that power.
Using templates from other users can help you use this powerful tool. Many magnificent people share Excel templates.
Now I am sharing.
There’s no doubt that folks who have experience with Microsoft’s Excel know that the program can be extremely helpful with financial management. Building your own custom spreadsheets (simple ones, at least) is fairly easy. Once you’ve learned how to make it do what you want, there’s really no limit to its number-crunching and record-keeping abilities.
What follows are custom, downloadable Excel spreadsheets that were created (most using Excel 2010) for daily, weekly, and monthly use. You’ll find these spreadsheets will help you with household budgeting, planning for future expenses, amortizing loans of various types, and tracking your debt loads. Some of these spreadsheets I use myself; others created simply because someone, somewhere asked for them, others sent to me by someone asking me what I thought.
There will be some of which are set up to accomplish tasks you probably never even considered!
One last note: These might not be the best-looking spreadsheets out there, but they do their job.
I will be adding to this continually.
