Spreadsheets

Last night I had Mike teach me how to do a spreadsheet on Excel.

This is one of the main reasons why I have not joined DA yet - for them to know you are serious, you have to have recorded your spending for at least two weeks.

Truth is, I have been tracking all my receipts religiously for the last four months. Actually, longer. But I have not known what to do with them.

Mike went throught the templates and found one he thought would be best for me. As usual, I got mad and said, I need to do this! I need to figure this out!

So I looked over a few, and then realized, actually, yes; the one he picked was the best option for me.

I spent my first ever Saturday night entering data. It took a while and I was playing with it's format and personalizing it's titles to fit my spending habits. But i really liked it. I feel I can move forward now with tracking my daily spending.

I feel hopeful.
