Page content

Free templates for spread sheets and other documents relative to personal financial management can be accessed, created, and customized via templates on the Web to at least keep you victorious on the organizational front of the battle to manage your money. Free software loaded with templates , is also available for the same purpose. With a template, the general outline and all the relevant titles and sub-headings are already on the printable document so all the user will have to do is customize a little the text, if necessary, and then insert your numbers. Templates can be downloaded quickly , worked with easily, and used repeatedly in order to eliminate the busy-work you would have to otherwise do when creating one of these detail-laden documents from scratch.

These free templates which are mostly arranged in a spreadsheet format are especially handy because they simplify the process of accounting with built in means of creating formulas and running calculations on a line by line basis or what is known in Microsoft Excel talk as a “cell.” I don’t particularly like the irony of that term since I’m naturally disinclined to manage my own finances and equate the task to being locked in a jail cell. Making it thru a few tight spots in a war or climbing mountains can lead a person to thinking that this is all just borrowed time so no need to waste any ticks off the clock fooling around with boring numbers when there are many adventures to be had. But that is just another in a long list of excuses keeping me from doing something I need to do which is to keep my checking account from behaving like a red rubber ball. Maybe the research gleaned in this article will spur me on to a little more fiscal responsibility.
