Hi Folks,
How do you handle credit cards in your monthly tabulation when comparing money spent versus what you actually have at the end of the month? I am getting stuck on step 3 because I dont know how to handle my credit cards when considering that at the beginning of the month, there is a debt, then there are new transactions, and at the end of the month, there is a different amount of debt.
I have been using Mint.com to obtain the summaries of the monthly spending in the categories I created. Mint counts a purchase on the credit card as spending for that month, even though I may pay of the bill next month. I believe this is why I cannot get my monthly tabulation to add up to my actual money at the end of the month.
