Budget Project

Budget Project:



The purpose of this project is to keep an accurate snapshot of your spending, saving, and earning potential for a ten day period.



You will keep track of your earnings and money spent using Google Documents, specifically Google Spreadsheets.



One sheet will be specifically for money coming in minus taxes. Include the date you were paid.
One sheet will be specifically for money going out. Include the date you spent the money. Include a brief description of the purchase. You'll need this for your graphs.
Within this sheet you will divide purchases into the following categories:
Transportation
Consumables
Entertainment (include cable and Internet)
Clothing
Rent (include electricity)
Other
Finally sum up all purchases.
One sheet will calculate the difference (Are you saving the excess or using a credit card to finance your purchases?) and include the following graphs:
On this sheet you will create a bar graph of your money spent per day.
Create a pie chart with the five categories and how you much you spent for each.
Create a line graph of your money spent per day.
