    Question Budget sheet...take a look

    Okay, I have taken a lot of the information I have found on this site to personalize a monthly budget sheet for my family. Here is what I have so far:
    First off there is Charity & Saving. Housing: Property Taxes, House Insurance, Repairs and Appliance Replacement. Utilities: Electricity, Heating, Telephone, Trash and Cable/Internet. Transportation: Car Insurance, Gas & Oil, Repairs & Tires, License Plate Tags and AAA Membership. Other Expenses: State & Federal Taxes, Other debt pymts., Groceries, Newspaper, Magazine Subscriptions, Medical Pymts., Prescriptions, Dog Tags, Vet Bills, Entertainment, Misc. Gifts, Christmas and Clothing.

    Does anybody see anything I may have missed? We don't have city water or sewer...

    Do you have kids in school? Mine are great at telling me about an upcoming field trip they need money for. The trips can range from $5 to $25 depending on where the class is going. I'm usually told the morning of the trip, that's always great. *grin* We are working on that....

    We don't have a cell phone, fun falls under entertainment, pet food & supplies falls under groceries...since we consider our pets part of the family & their med bills fall under Vet (but a separate Pet column would probably enable me to see exactly how much we spend on the little beggars), all my kids are adults and we don't travel for family celebrations and if we did it would be mainly gas expense. I also am not one to send flowers for funerals we generally donate to either the family or whatever charity/program they have listed for donations...and that falls under my misc. gifts category. I don't believe in allowances , not for kids or adults. If I want something and can afford it, I buy it...if I want something and don't have the money for it, then I don't buy it. We really don't spend money we don't have, I just want to figure out where what we have has been and will be going.

    Thanks for your suggestions...
