    I was an officer on a naval ship and when I was helping young guys with how to manage their finances fresh out of boot camp, I always sent them this. You're an American hero man, thank you.

    Thank you so much for this! I spent the whole weekend finding for tutorials/guided like this on how to use spreadsheet generally & how to use spreadsheet to track our budget and expenses.
    This video is by far the best I’ve found and I’m definitely gonna use your method. So thank you!! Take care and stay safe.

    I cannot thank you enough for this video. I looked at quite a few videos; they were tempting and pretty, but way more than I needed to get started. First things first, right?....just make a good working budget to see where you're at and if you want to get fancier in the future, do it. By the way, this is my first-ever budget, so I'm excited to use the sheet!

    First video I watched on this and so grateful I did. Perfect amount of information without it being overwhelming. I followed along the whole way and created my own as I watched the first time. Had to pause and rewind a few times to catch the formulas but got right back into it and could follow on. Thank you for making this!!! Like you said the only way this will work is by constantly updating it with the expenses but it’s great foundation to start.

    Dude this was Amazing!! I had been watching so many others videos and then having to give up midway through doing the spreadsheet because they would forget to say how to something so I couldn't do it. And just too complicated. But yours man, this video is great, easy to follow, great audio, and you say everything you're doing so that it is easy for the viewer to follow. Thanks

  • @milenski26
    @milenski26 3 роки тому +13

    Thanks so much! Great video, straight to the point and easy to follow. I've never done an actual spreadsheet before, so this was very helpful. I had to tinker a bit with one of the formulas in Excel, since they weren't matching exactly, but your instruction was a great jumping of point for what I needed to be adding to what where haha.
    I also added a field to calculate the balance between my income and expenses, so I know how much I have left over at the end of the month. Now all I have to do is stick to the budget!

  • @alexr2375

    Thank you so much for this video, 🙏🏾 I was in desperate need of something like this and I just made my budget spreadsheet on Google. I followed your steps and it works perfectly!!!!
    I couldn't follow along with other videos because it was either too fast or lacked information which maklde me lost but this was a PROPER lesson 🙏🏾.

    Thank you very much for this. I came across this as the new year is coming up and after going through so many (mostly confusing and pointlessly long) videos that talk about everything else besides what is important for anyone budgeting, am very grateful that you took the time out made the ffort to make this.
    Thank you very much and would love to see an updated version of this. Peace and Love from Pakistan.

    I added a few extra things but I think this is going to work great. This is the first video that isn't too dense with info, but just enough to be effective and concise. Thanks a lot and keep up the hard work. I would also like to see your "advanced" version of this spreadsheet like you mentioned just to see if there is anything I could put into it to make it better. Anyways, thanks again!!!
