I Hate Budgets
But if you need a quick budget worksheet, Michelle Singletary has one at the Washington Post. You don’t need to log in. The link is direct to a PDF file, which you can read for free with Adobe Reader.
It’s fairly comprehensive. I admit, I hate budgets and I usually use the budgeting tools in Quicken to help me, but I am starting some financial counseling volunteer work and so I’m reposting this primarily as a quick link for future reference. I will make a permalink for it on the sidebar one day.
I’m still crazy busy with training, but in a good way. I’m surviving with the help of a lot of caffeine.

I’m not sure I hate budgets, but what I say about them is that they’re just tools: discipline in following them is still the key to a budget working, and that’s far more difficult than just filling in blanks on a piece of paper.

That’s an interesting comment above. Anyhow, thanks for the link. I’m still perfecting my budget and figuring out what works best for me.
