Best Practice For Budgeting a Spending Scenario

I’m not understanding how to budget correctly for a vacation.

If I have a $1,000 vacation budget and have spent $500 on preparation, then withdrawal $500 for cash purchases, how is the cash categorized and the cash spending tracked and categorized on the spreadsheet?

Thanks.

I track cash using the Super Tidy Cash Tracking Method, which means creating a manual cash account and a manual transaction transfer deposit into cash to match the transfer out of the bank account. Then it’s manual transactions for all cash spending into the usual categories.

Hi @rdc.tiller did the cash tracking article help?

I did not look at the article because I was already on vaca before I saw the email… lol.

Thank you for following up!
