Default Sample budgets
Maybe I'm not searching for the right thing but I can't find sample budgets anywhere! I have used the Franklin Covey budget system in the past but I'm not sure it's the best budget system for us. I'd like to look over some that other people use--spreadsheets, etc. to see if I find something I like better.

Any help would be appreciated!

What kind of budgets are you looking for? I typed 'sample budgets' into google and came up with many results. Are you looking for templates?
