Online Money Management Calendar
DH and I are looking for a way to better track our finances...for free. We see a financial planner, have long term goals and a monthly budget etc but somehow our theoretical budget is never the same as our actual account. We'd like to have a somewhat "live/ real time" budget accessible to both of us to help track our weekly expenses and plan for future big ticket items. Anyone try Pocketsmith or something similar? Erbur, Im looking at you. I know you are all over money management. Whats a good free tool?

Re: Online Money Management Calendar
Give me a few minutes and I'll post some links/resources.
The gist of it is as follows:
- 60%: covers utilities, groceries, rent/mortgage, car payment, insurance, gas/commuting costs, subscriptions (incl. Netflix, magazines, cable), etc.
- 10%: retirement
- 10%: short-term savings--vacations, new appliances, Christmas/bday gifts
- 10%: long-term savings
- 10%: "fun money" This could include entertainment/dining out/concerts/etc.
You can amend these as needed, especially given childcare costs or other related expenses.
I also review my budget on a spreadsheet and break it down to the dollar amount per week (i.e., I know I have $100/wk to spend on groceries).
