I was following a link-storm and ended up here looking at budgeting spreadsheets. There's something weird about this spreadsheet I just don't get: The Net Worth is equivalent to Gross minus the sum of 401(k) contributions, Health Insurance, and $2 per dependent. I followed it up until that last bit; any idea what that's supposed to be? Anyway, great resource. Thanks for posting it :) Do you see comments on ancient posts?

The total for the "personal life" category is only 10%. Also property tax alone is 11% of our shelter budget.

D6 should read “=D1-D3-D4-D5″

I had been sticking numbers in a pretty sad looking spreadsheet but this is really nice. Makes it real easy to try some different "what if" scenarios. Thanks!
