When we budget, it seems like we always have money. To give each dollar a name like “light bill” or “food” keeps us from spending it when we shouldn’t. I have been using a spreadsheet for the budget but find it cumbersome but what I really need is a good budgeting software program.

I’m already at the computer a lot during the day either playing games or writing about games. I can take a break and work in a software program to see where we stand with our budget. The spreadsheet is nice but it would be great to have more options and features to work with.

When I get my NeatReceipts Scanalizer, I will know exactly where our money is going since I’ll be able to work with our receipts electronically and manipulate the data. Once that comes in, I will see how it works and then which software will integrat with it the best and then make a decision.
