      I don't keep spreadsheets of that sort (Been married 20 years no need to), but when making serious decisions I do write "pro and con" lists because visualizing the details can make the process easier. Generally that applies to do I buy a house here or there, or Ford vs Chevy type of decisions.

      It was broke, so I fixed it.

                In finance and accountancy, a spreadsheet is Every tool you need. It is the Only tool you need. It is the only tool you Have. Miracles can be worked, good deeds undone, expectations managed and taxes avoided. No job too small, no fee too large.

                  Did you hear about that bloke who died just after completing an enourmous spreadsheet? Police think he may have Excelled himself.
