I've gone as far as using it as a diary to note down important stuff sometimes (just enter it as an expense with a 0 amount) which may be too sensitive for my whatsApp chat with myself Highly customizable (add your own categories and sheets for anything you'd like to track - Credit Cards, Big-ticket expenses, Renovation Projects, etc) While I haven't experimented with too many apps (yes, some apps process data locally, and yes some apps have more features than you can count) I personally don't think I'll get the kind of customization I'm looking for. Lacks customization for some very specific needs Questions around privacy and security of my data Every other 3rd party solution/app that I've tried has 2 issues generally I have my own reasons for sticking to this system for a good couple of years.

So here it is for those of you who wanted to try it. While there is absolutely nothing that is special about this, and many more sophisticated (and polished) solutions exist, I think those comments resonated with a lot of you who reached out for the template. Google Form Mobile UX for Expense TrackingĪlmost a year ago on this sub, I had briefly discussed how I manage to track my expenses ( comment#1 and comment#2). The form sits on my phone as a homescreen shortcut, so it's much more intuitive than opening up a spreadsheet to fill in my expenses. Sheets keeps track, runs the backend and shows me a Dashboard, and Forms lets me fill in the sheet in a much more user friendly manner. Tl dr - Sharing a copy of my Budget tracking system which uses Google Sheets + Google Forms.

#GOOGLE SHEETS EXPENSE TRACKER TEMPLATE UPDATE#
Update - I have added a more mobile-friendly dashboard to this setup using Google Data Studio.
