Amazing Spreadsheet of Joy and Joyness

Katie and I wanted to take a look at our money and how we spend it.  After being frustrated by the free spreadsheet templates that I found and their lack-of-usefullness (you know... they're free...) I decided that I can do better than all of them.

So I did.

I made myself a spreadsheet that is custom-designed for our finances.  Our bank lets you download a "CSV" file of the transaction history.  I made it so that I could just copy and paste the history into the first page of the spreadsheet and all I would have to do is categorize the items, and the spreadsheet would figure out the rest of it for us.

It's complete with graphs and charts.  It's got a monthly analysis of expenses and analysis by category.  I'm pretty darn impressed with it.

If you have OpenOffice on your system, you should take a look at my awesome work here.  I changed the numbers and added some other this n' thats to it, but you can still see its totally coolness.  Save it to your computer and open it (so that it doesn't open in read-only mode so you can try some of the brilliantly amazing features). Make sure you check out all of the tabs along the bottom of the page.  That's where the coolness stuff is.

G'night.
