X-Post Budget

Hi ladies...I'm stuck on something. I use the wedding wire budget tool, and I'm pretty happy with it. But I'm also a bit OCD/controlling and a total visual person. So, when I look at my budget, it includes everything, even the items my parents are paying for. So, my question is, should I take those items out so I can see exactly what FH and I have to pay for, or do I leave them in, so I know the total cost of everything. Its something so little, but it makes me want to

Re: X-Post Budget

why dont you do an excel sheet and set up formulas to show what you are paying and what your parents are paying. I have a good one that also calculates how much I spent each month and then automatically adds how much I have spent total , etc, etc.

I love that i'm not the only one who is up late at night doing wedding stuff, lol. I have to admit, I'm a dummy when it comes to excel. Its the only Office program I just don't understand. It sounds like that would work...I just don't know how. Unless, you can explain how it all works to me.

I agree with making a fancy excel sheet for all expenses to see where your money is going and what you will need. That being said--I'm a lost cause with formulas and money on excel, too. FH is the brains of that operation at our house!
