Thanks to this website I understand the value of tracking my money, setting financial goals, paying down debt and building savings. My husband understands these things too...but I want to push him a bit.
I want to be able to create some charts that I can use to visually help him understand where our finances are compared to our goals.
We currently pay an extra $100 a month on our mortgage- but in times of 'want' my husband suddenly thinks that we can keep the extra $100 "this month." I want to create a graph chart to help him see how important it is to save the extra $100.
We have some savings accounts designated to save for various goals...once again my husband sometimes thinks we can raid the savings accounts if the need arose. I want to create a line graph so he can see the importance of compounding interest and disciplined savings.
And my husband never thinks we have enough accessible spending money. I want to create a pie chart so he can see how much money we really do have compared to what we spend.
...And maybe it would be fun to create a pie chart showing how much of our money is geared towards different spending categories such as bills, food, entertainment ext.
Hey it's Sunday afternoon and I am suddenly motivated. I don't have microsoft excel. Is there a website where I can create these graphs for free? Does anyone else have visual graphs that they use or is a column like budget the extent of what everyone is doing?
