I remember seeing a few members here posted excel budget files and such, but can't seem to find the threads they were posted in. Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Ok, its up
Here

Quick run down. I left a few arbitrary numbers in so you can see how it works. Theres alot of formulas so play around a bit to see how it works. The monthly bill statement just needs a positive balance and negative number for payments, the rest it figures. Also, the left hand description hotlinks to the companies website, so make sure to change that to YOUR company for quick web payments (Unless you auto bill pay). The graphs pull info from that. The checking/savings account is pretty straightforward, but if you throw in more then 30 or 40 entries start keepin an eye on the forumales to make sure they keep up. I've never kept more then about 30 entries on it (only keep 1 month) so it *might* have errors somwhere in it.. The Scottrade tracker (still) doesnt work nor look exactly like I want it to, but it gets the job done. All pages are linked from each other so theres no need to use the bottom tabs to move around.
As with all financial documents and info, it wouldnt hurt to give everything a quick once over to make sure all formulas are working. If they arent, I'd like to know as well!!
Feel free to edit or share it as you see fit. Any questions let me know.

Thanks for the links guys.

I've been building something like the MS one, but not as pretty.

But if anyone else has some more, please post em.

I have money 2004, but all I've used it for is keeping track of my checking/savings account. I haven't even looked into budget features.

*goes to read the manual*

Your software has manuals? I haven't bought software in years that has a manual, you are just expected to play around till you figure it out.

I was just saying.... no, it doesn't have a manual, but it does have help files. :)

Also, I learn better by messing with programs than reading about them.
