How to Budget for Couples - Tutorial (EXCEL, GOOGLE SHEETS)

Budgeting as a couple doesn't have to be complicated, but it's a lot easier if you use my budget for couples spreadsheet! This is the budget spreadsheet my husband and I have been using for years and I had to develop it from scratch because I couldn't find anything like it anywhere.

This spreadsheet is built for a couple who has some individual savings goals and expenses, but also some joint savings goals and expenses together. Basically, it's what a call separate and together budgeting. Because not all couples want to 100% combine their finances, or it just doesn't make sense because of how their financial lives are organized.

Since I started sharing this spreadsheet with others, thousands of couples have downloaded it to help them level up their budgeting skills, manage their money better, and most importantly are reaching their financial goals. I hope this spreadsheet helps you as much as it's helped me and many others.

So download the budget spreadsheet for yourself and follow along in this tutorial to get started.

Hi! Thank you for this awesome resource. I downloaded your spreadsheet and am trying to 'Add 10 rows' on my personal spending tab, but I'm getting an error message that says, "TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'getDataRange'). Do you know what I might be doing wrong?
