Dear Stacey,

A large evelope with room to write on might take care of your needs.
(Simple is always good.)

If you want something a little more sophisticated to keep track of
accounts, try using Quicken.  I've adapted the standard version, changing
the categories to reflect our project numbers.  e.g. instead of "rent" or
"auto insurance" mine reads "8410-office supplies"  or "8550-travel."  It's
easy to erase one set of categories and insert your own.

Quicken works like a check register.  The beauty of it is that it not only
adds and subtracts for you, it will print beautiful reports at budget time.

Good luck,

Margaret
