Budgeting Your Life: Part 2 .5

After my last post, I received a few requests to share templates for our joint budget and menu/shopping docs.

Ask and you shall receive! 

Click HERE to view the Joint Budgeting/Spending Template

Click HERE to view the Weekly Menu/Shopping Template  

Remember, the important thing is that it works for you. And this might not. But feel free to play around and customize as you wish. If you are sharing with a friend, spouse, etc. adjust the sharing settings giving them full edit rights. A newbie to Google Drive (formerly Google Docs)? Don't fret, you can easily find answers to any questions by doing a quick, yup you guessed it, Google search.  Lastly, one of the reasons we are a huge fan of Google Drive is that we can access it anywhere via the iPhone Google Drive app - I am sure there is a similar version available for other smartphones.

Oh it also helps to give them fun titles - our budget is called "Show Me the Money" and our menu/shop list "Feed Me Baby."  Feel free to steal either- enjoy!
