Essential Reading: 10 Tips for Creating Budget Templates in Google Sheets

If you love Google Sheets as much as we do, you’ve probably already discovered Ben Collins.

He’s a spreadsheet developer, data consultant, and data analytics instructor who shares in-depth Google Sheets tips at Benlcollins.com. He also developed a useful credit card spending spreadsheet template just for Tiller.

Ben recently published a post on his site about how he uses Google Sheets to build financial templates.  It’s essential reading for anyone who uses (or wants to use) a spreadsheet for budgeting.

I like using Google Sheets, as opposed to another third party service like Mint, because it’s fully customizable, it’s easy to use and I can share any spending or budget templates easily with my wife.”
