We have an elaborate spreadsheet to track budget/spending (and another to track investments/AA). IME it's not a lot of work IF you build a spreadsheet that automatically slices/dices, charts and calculates everything we want to track **. We enter all the expenses once a month and print out a summary, it's pretty easy, and it tells us how we're doing against budget.
*** I retired over 6 years ago, and I used Excel every day and became pretty good at it. I used functions that most of my co-workers were unaware of. Just this week I needed to make a change to the budget spreadsheet and it took me almost 15 minutes to make the change. It occurred to me that I might not be able to build a spreadsheet like it from scratch anymore...
