How I Manage My Money: My Financial Mastersheet for Income, Expenses, Net Worth, and Budgeting

[@shanda5109]

I have always tracked every expense but your spreadsheet is making it all so much easier to read and organize. This thing is gold to me! thank you so much!

[@Sup3rman124]

It's great to see how other people record and analyse their own financial data - I made a spreadsheet myself when Covid 1st hit and it makes planning for the month/year ahead so much easier (Will definitely be adding charts now that I've seen yours in action!).

[@humphrey]

That is awesome!

Yes, market crashes. Yes it has not bottomed, It has no business at this level in the first place, pumped up by the Fed and central banks around the world. You can still be 100% invested at this level. Good luck! I prefer to sell the bounce and keep 50% cash. I will not get back into the market more than 50% if S&P is not 30% lower from here. I trade and make quick profits. With this inflation and my expectation on the economy, I am ok with 70% cash. I don’t short the market. Just keep selling the bounce!

I am sitting on cash. I sold my stocks but the best part about this sell-off i have been mostly right, the worst part about it is that i don’t short anymore so I’m not making so much money but at least i will get to buy twice the stock with the same USD amount.

@@amiracentenososa3847 Profit comes for proper trade execution thats why i hired a wealth manager. I have racked up in profits $758,405 from $185k capital in sept 16 last year to be exact on my portfolio.The best time to diversify according to my CFA Mary Freed Lorenz is now and with what is playing out in the markets, she is more defensive while shorting.I watched a news interview on where she featured during an IPO and spoke proficiently, caught only her name and did a search later online.

Great video, thanks!! I think tracking to this level of detail is really important for those who have either lower incomes or low savings rates. Its really important to understand which levers you need to pull to get your expenses under control!

Can’t wait to watch this, definitely needed this- THANK YOU 🔥

[@humphrey]

You're so welcome!

[@anivnayar]

Thanks for the sheet Humphrey! I also created my own Net Worth/P&L tracker and I have a couple things I'm doing differently and would love to head your thoughts - Shouldn't the net worth section have a liabilities portion as well, for items like balances on home mortgages, student loans or other debts? I think you mentioned you live at home so you may be completely debt free, but for those of us with some sort of debt, that should be subtracted from the total assets to get to your net worth. - The way I handle large purchases is a little different. In my budget, I basically amortize the cost of large purchases over an expected period of use time. For example, I put $250/mo. under expenses for 'Vehicle Purchase', as I estimate that I am going to buy a $30K vehicle (net, after trade-in) every 10 years ($30000/120 months). I do the same for cell phones ($1000 every 3 yrs), vacations, home repairs and furnishings. Upside is it reduces the 'lumpiness' of expenses but the downside is that it's not a pure cash view as I think you're doing, which is also useful. Anyway thanks again for the video!

[@humphrey]

I've considered the amortization method before. I think it works well, I usually just look at my stats on a monthly average anyway, so if I was in April I'd just be totaling up my four months divided by four, June divided by 6 etc, so I think you can do it either way. For the liabilities portion, I don't have debts so it's a bit naive for me. Once I have a mortgage payment I'd probably add the liabilities section, but I'd probably just create a separate line for "Mortgage Expense" under "Fixed Expenses" section and just call it a fixed expense.

[@digyant9500]

I also follow similar routine to keep track of my expenses.

[@JonesingFinance]

Thanks for this!

My pleasure!

[@DirtyBob154]

Cool spreadsheet! I assume you already have a dividend spreadsheet as well? Anyways, one thing that I would add is instead of inputting the dollar amounts from your investments, input the amounts that you hold then multiply it with the share price (or coin price). This gives you a more accurate number, and it’s also automatically updating with a live net worth as the markets fluctuate. I set mine up with power query and import the financial data through tradingview. Let me know if you need help with this, I would love to do this for you free of charge!

[@MrThePessimist]

it doesnt take account debts though, but easily can be added i guess :) thx for this it works great !

What spending tracker app wpuld you recpommend for a couple? Wife and I pool our resources and like your spreadsheet for the detail. My missing piece is the spending transaction capture.

[@jentam101]

I front loaded my 401k contribution. Therefore, my take home income for the first 4 months is quite low. On the column for salaried income, do I enter my take home income (minus the 401k contribution)?

[@AKMax96]

I use Mint because it tracks all my bank and investment accounts in real-time. Plus, it allows me to create fine-grained categories and add notes to each transaction (e.g., if it is something from shopping, then I'll add a note telling what that item was). But I like how you used that data to make those charts to give you more insights and just a better understanding of where you are with your finances. I will definitely try to play around with your spreadsheets, thank you! Given that Mint allows exporting all transactions with their metadata (like dates, categories, and notes) I can get the best of the app and your spreadsheets =)

[@jarey9222]

That would also be great for accounting a business

What do you do about pending charges and stuff like that at the point of recording? I always get tripped up when trying something like this about when to record the data. 1) when I actually make the purchase, or 2) when the money leaves (or enters) my account officially

Hey Humphrey, what are the rules you're using to turn the cell red, yellow or green? I'm using the spreadsheet but the overall profit/loss column shows red despite me having a profit. I feel like it would make more sense to only turn red if I'm in the negative. Thanks!

[@ryaniskra8754]

I know this video is older but for those who see this I made a graph that could be useful. Highlight Summary all the way down to December at the top left and without highlighting the Income section highlight the Expenses and Profits/Loss sections. Insert a stacked bar graph or an area graph. Boom now you have a graph that shows you how much your expenses eat at your income. Some problems occur with how the graph looks if you are in a loss so don't do that.

Humphrey, love the spreadsheet! I have a much smaller one than you that tracks my monthly P&L for the year. I have an investing question for you... So I am 23 and have been working for about 9 months since graduation and have a 401(k) through my employer which is the bulk of my retirement accounts. As well as a Roth IRA with a very small amount in it that I don't add to as often because I am trying to build up my savings account a bit. I used Robinhood in college but pulled all of my money out of there after the wall street bets stuff a few years back - I am looking for a reliable investing site where I can do some personal investing that I can pull out fairly quickly and was wondering what your recommendation is? I don't really trust Robinhood anymore because of that stuff so I need a reliable site that I can pull out if needed. Thanks!
