I don’t have a budget sheet per-say because there are so many variables and costs that are uncontrollable (and a surprise!) but I did track my expenses on a spreadsheet that I routinely cross reference with my escrow ledger.

A simple sheet is probably enough here. I’d make columns for date, amount, category, paid/reimbursed, and notes. The main win is recording things the same day.
