I separate incomes from expenses, divide the expenses into fixed and acquired debts. Then I have a section for payments in the case of credits. I use formulas to predict the debts growth and know where I have to focus on. I'll try to create a template and share it. Just by putting all on an spreadsheet made me realize where my money was going, and I got really surprised. You just need to put it into paper, in order to know why money seems to fly; we use to spend on useless stuff. I do similar, I keep track through an spreadsheet I created in Google Docs.

Sure, it looks nicer, but it can't handle investment accounts and I found that the "recommendations" it made were really generic -- it didn't help me that much.

I just recently started using it and it's pretty on point. Good idea about the receipts too, I really need to start that. Have you checked out Mint?
