Fun with Excel

Frank, the Financially Savvy Atheist has a rockin’ spreadsheet for a payment amortization schedule. He walks you through the formulas you need to set up and it’s actually pretty useful if you are a spreadsheet jockey at work. It’s definitely intermediate to expert level skill.

It’s been quite fun to noodle around with it. Of course, I don’t like what it’s saying to me. Pretty much, I need to scale back my life even further and start tripling my 2nd trust payments if I want to be done with them anytime soon. (About $30K in 2 yrs = ~$1350/mo.)

I suggest everyone give it a little whirl if you have Excel. I haven’t yet tried it with MS Works. I’ve been busy reading another PF book which hopefully I’ll find time to review soon.

Thanks for being patient with my light posting. I am still trying to serve up something hot and fresh every day.
