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.

The question now is how could families manage the family financial in a time like this and avoid falling into future quagmire because of squandering future family money. Families were lured into spending frenzies by Shylock soft loan lenders that hid under ostentatious good dealers to dish out the loan with well hidden fine prints that tend to hang the unsuspecting families who as a result spend beyond their family budgets and or even personal budgets. In the process many families with children have lost their family home. Though, spendthrift families are also not innocent as quite a few of them never built nor used family plans and family budgets. Some never even sought family help when they became aware of their circumstance in their family financial.

A budget needs to estimate your average (yearly) income. Spending, which will be relatively constant, needs to be maintained below that amount. A budget should allow for error and so keeping expenses 5% or 10% below the estimated income is a conservative approach. When done correctly, your budget should end any given year with about 5% of their income left over. Of course being conservative and having more than 5% is never a bad idea.

Setting up your financial budget as a joint venture for the whole family can be a fulfilling and satisfying experience. If you have not had success with managing your finances in the past, then setting up a budget will put your economic situation into perspective and serve several purposes all at once, helping you to make cuts in the spending habits that went un-noticed previously. Getting your specified budget down on paper can be boring at first - but once you master the art, you may find that you will enjoy the challenge and rewards of sticking to your budget.
