    I create my own spreadsheets in Excel.

    If you would like me to help you out, please send me a pm. I can help you create an easy worksheet over the phone or via e-mail. That will get you started.

    I have a couple different ones. I am unable to post an excel file. PM me if you still need one and I will send some to you to see which one works best for you.

    I've posted this two or three times but I swear I'm not affiliated with this site LOL. I use the snowball calculator and the loan amortization but there's a ton of useful spreadsheets on here, you should be able to find some ideas: http://www.vertex42.com/

    We use zilch

    if you goggle zilchworks you will be able to find it.

    it is super easy to use and gives you all different ways to track your payments.

    We have used it to get debt free 3x--- we just get stupid and get back in.
