Snow one weekend...Spring the next!

A beautiful spring like day. We took the boys and some neighborhood friends to the park today. Will got to scoot, Nala got to go to "Bark Park" and the rest of the boys played ball. They ended the day with a home run derby. Wyatt was thrilled to be ahead in the end. (He and Zac A. were neck and neck)

Solution

I have finally found a solution for managing our finances. As a CPA, I have had the opportunity to use many different financial software packages, but could never find a perfect fit for our personal finances. I created a template in excel that handles it all. I needed to be able to forecast our income and expenses on a weekly basis, as well as, track our historical transactions. This new solution allows me to reconcile my file with our online banking activity each day (it is a breeze and takes me only a few minutes each morning). The best part is I can forecast out for several months to get a good picture of where we are going. Oh yeah - I built a budget feature that allows me to average our weekly spending so that I can compare it to our monthly budget.
It feels great to be in control!!
