What makes it useful
Instead of only adding expenses, the tool separates essential and optional costs so you can see what could be cut to protect the buffer.
It is a planning worksheet, not accounting software. Keep receipts and official records separately.

What counts as nice-to-have?
Anything you could reduce or remove if the event is over budget.
Does this save my budget online?
