Budgeting "tool"?

Does anyone have some good internet-type tool thingy which suggests all the categories of expense you might have so you can just plug them in to work out how much you should be spending or not spending? Am I making any sense at all? V grateful for thoughts.

Do you mean for spending on shoes, lattes and after work drinky poos sort of thing?

There's one on MoneySavingExpert - you have to download it,it's not 'live' link here

If you try thisismoney.co.uk they have a calculator on there. You'll have to excuse it being linked to the Daily Mail paper though.

Ah, a torrent of good and useful advice. Is it really unreasonable to spend £5000 pcm on lattes?
Bathroom is quite nice, also reason for horrible reconsideration of evil finances, hc.
Thanks you for the suggestions, snigger and simply. I will look at these...

you are most sensible. i wish i was.... but we still need to go to ikea!

VersdeSociete · 14/01/2009 15:09

Am frightened any budgeting exercise will result in conclusion that there is no money at all for clothes and frips. Will have to make own lattes out of fermented acorn broth or similar.

Yes, well money spent at Ikea I believe counts as an incoming rather than an outgoing sum due to bargainiferous nature of Ikea. Will just go and check thsoe "tools" to make sure I am right about this...

'tis foregone conclusion! i will make you latte....

As far as I remember, shoes can be marked as a credit due to the fact that they promote a work-friendly attitude.
