Btw, is there a way to disable rollovers? What I've been doing in excel is any money I have left over at the end of the month I just wipe out and think of it as more money for when I graduate. Any money I overspend is also wiped out. It means I know I have a set figure to spend each month, I don't want it to be increasing or lowering.
