How to stop depending on the spreadsheet?

The spreadsheet often becomes a dependency when it is the only place where money is legible. To get out of it, you need to preserve clarity and remove typing.

Steps to get out of the spreadsheet

1. Stop typing entry by entry.
2. Use statement and bill as the main source.
3. Review categories once a month.
4. Keep the spreadsheet only for goals and simulations.

When to keep the spreadsheet

Keep it if you use it to simulate financing, travel, large purchase, or retirement. For monthly routine, automating is usually more sustainable.
