This Monthly Budget Calculator could be rather useful right now. Let’s face it, you’ve just dumped the Merc, pulled the kids out of the exclusive Swiss college and have decided to forego Aspen this year. Perhaps you need to get a better hold on where all the green stuff is leaking? Set your six categories, enter in expenditures (new waistcoat for butler) and gasp as you discover which addiction is costing you dearly each month. $19.98.
Set your monthly limits for six categories: Food, Apparel, Transportation, Entertainment, Personal Care and Misc. Then input purchases as the month progresses. With the press of a button, see how much you’ve spent and what’s left of your overall budget, or broken down for each category.
