The budgeting process is designed to be flexible; and you should have an expectation that a budget will change from month to month, and will require ongoing monthly review. Expense overruns in one category of a budget should in the next month be accounted for or prevented. For example, if you or your family spends $50 more than planned on groceries, next month`s budget should reflect a$50 increase and decreases of $50 in other parts of their budget.

During the family discussion take notes - this is an important discussion and your notes will help to develop your joint family budget. It is important that family members collectively do their part in both understanding the financial situation your family is experiencing as well as understanding that the family as a whole is better equipped to find the solution when working together in the same direction.
A great exercise to start of your financial budget project is to ask each member of the family to make a list of ten relevant points (for example) regarding their financial needs, expectations, goals and visions. Add a second part to that list that shows their usual expenses. When everyone is finished with his or her individual list - discuss each point of each list together. Identify which items that are normally purchased during the course of the month - that can be eliminated without hardship, in order to save extra money from the monthly income. By doing this together, your family is participating and can see their contributions will help to make the family finances better.
Any software or template should be able to divide all your spending into detailed categories. It should also include spending that may not occur every month. These types of spending will then need to be included in your monthly budget and set aside; that way when you need the money for something like an unexpected oil change for your car or a present for a friend, the money will be available and will not hit you as a surprise. These are just few of the things that can manage to set a good budget worksheet apart from a poor one.
