Hey @dmtors - this is cool. Couple questions - do you have a video demo? Also, is there a roadmap for this to make money? I don't want to rely on it and have it go away :(

@joelrunyon Hey thanks so much! Here is a video demo.

There is no roadmap to make money. It doesn't cost much to run, other than time. And this is something I use and is very important to me. I've been working on for 5 years so far so no need to worry about it going away. :)

@dmtors maybe make a tip jar for those who want to? I don't like seeing free projects that are really well done, because unexpected stuff can happen and it can get harder to support. Good work!

Ha! After trying out many budgeting tools, early this year I also made my own spreadsheet budget system. Nice to see that you've came to the same conclusion and I am looking forward to try out your version and find inspiration how to improve my system or even switch to yours. Thank you 😊

@edgarascom That's awesome. There's something about managing our money manually in a spreadsheet. I hope you enjoy using yours and evolving it! :)

@dmtors how difficult is to change the currency to DKK?

@edgarascom Hey I actually made a NOK version of the template that should work for you. https://docs.google.com/spreadsh... Let me know if you actually need something different and I'll make it for you.

Hey @dmtors - Would you be able to provide a version in INR please? I tried to go to settings and change the locale, but it simply converted a bunch of fields into Hindi rather than changing the currency! Really looking forward to using this!

@dmtors This is a great concept and it is great to see that you are turning the spreadsheet into such a powerful tool for personal finance! I am wondering whether it can be used to create an "app" using tool like Glide. I think this will make the entering and searching expense experience a bit better for people using a mobile. Let me know what do you think. Keep up with the great work!

@minjie_shi Hey thanks for the encouragement! I've actually gone through the process of making Halfdollar in a web app format. I went back to a spreadsheet because it is easier to manage and a much lower cost. There are plenty of budgeting apps if that is your style. This is just made for those who prefer to budget in this way.

@dmtors I see. That makes sense as well. I think there are a lot of spreadsheet fans out there, you have found your niche market :)

Hey everyone, here is Halfdollar – a free spreadsheet budgeting tool with many features to help meet your individual budgeting needs. It's shareable, easy to log and organize your transactions, and helps you predict what the each month and the entire year will look like financially. There's something about manually logging and handling your budget when it comes to your finances. You decide exactly how everything is labeled and categorized, and can constantly see what is coming in, going out, and what is leftover. I've worked really hard to get this to a point that I'm ready to share. Please join the Slack community if you would like and give some feedback, ideas, or just chat about budgeting. I hope you find Halfdollar useful for you and are able to get your budget set up and ready for the new year. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me anywhere. Thank you, enjoy!

This is really cool, I don't need it but it was fun to play with. The only thing that seems to be missing is a weekly recurrence for bills.

Congrats! What do you do with the information users log in?

@inbal_a Thanks! Actually, since users create a copy of the template, that spreadsheet is completely owned by the user. It's your own private document that no one else ever sees unless you share it with them. You also don't have to enter in any information to get the free template, so nothing is ever collected or stored.
