I've been a long time user of mint but have realized I have outgrown it. It is good for keeping track of a general budget, but just doesn't fit my needs. I want to keep a more detailed account of my taxes, 401k, as well as expenses. Mint just can't do that for me.
I decided to create an Excel spreadsheet because at work I'm a big excel nerd and know it pretty well and I already own it.
My question is how to keep track of my paychecks and travel reimbursements? I get paid twice a month, so should I have a row for each or just combine it into one line item?
Also how should I keep track of my travel expenses? I travel often and get reimbursed often. This amount varies. It typically hits my bank account then I immediately pay off my credit card. I've read I should just ignore this amount but I don't feel right doing that because it does it my account and I have to account for paying the credit card somehow.
Thanks!
