Money is tight in our household lately, so I'm thinking about starting a formal budget. Right now, my budget is written on the back of an envelope, that is tacked to the refrigerator. Do you know where I can find a free budget system online, somewhere that I can track expenses and income? Or, do you have any simple ideas for putting together a home budget that won't involve an expensive planner or system?

I think I got mine at about.com. It is just a blank printable form that you can fill out. It seems to work when I actually use it, LOL. I really need to get back on a budget as we are really tight with money as well.

If you have microsoft excel, I think there is a template or something like that. I usually wrote out what we can spend a month with any extra money. Also I got a pre-paid card to use strictly for bills and it seems to work great thus far. Good Luck!
