Create a Personal Budget In Excel - Manage Your Finances!

Course details

** New Course for 2018! **

Personal finance is a topic that is a hurdle for most people.  Where does the money go? Why is your bank account always empty at the end of the month?  This course will teach you the skills needed to properly and effectively create a budget in Excel, stick to it, and see exactly where that money is going!

In this course we go step by step, starting with a blank Excel workbook.  We then build an full personal budget from scratch.  By the end of the course, you have a nicely formatted, useful, dynamic personal budget which you can continually update and see exactly where that money is going!

I also provide the budget created in the course as a download, in case you prefer to use the one I built than make your own. 

What We Do In The Course:  

• Properly lay out an effective budget
• Brainstorm and include all the income, expense and other outgoing cash line items

• Add in comparative values as well to help you make decisions about your balance of expenses
• Ultimately, we give you the ability to make sound and wise spending and financial decisions

At any point if you have a question, please feel free to ask through the course forum, I'd be happy to answer any and all questions.
