Moving to Atlanta GA...general Expenses. (Chamblee, Gray: health insurance, school, calculator)

[sunnyvara]

Hello all,
Im new to the forum here......

I am trying to produce a detailed spreadsheet on living in Atlanta for a 3 year period.
This spreadsheet should include all details like car expenses(tax if any,insurance ) /state taxes/schooling for the kids/utility bills/health insurance/ etc.

Does anyone know if there is a calculator online that will help me find all the expenses in USA Atlanta. Im sure Ive missed out a several areas of expense.

We are looking to re-locate mid/end of this year.

+ Does anyone know if Grayson is a better area than Chamblee, in terms of Crime, education etc.

many thanks in advance if anyone can shed light on this subject.

I actually paid for a little spreadsheet which handles various budget items and gives you a quick and dirty overview of where your $$ is going. While it doesn't give all of the detailed categories you want, it does provide a starter set, and it's easy to expand.

Of course, I'm also becoming quite fond of mint.com, which gives you a nice overview of things and lets you set up a budget as well, but again it requires some tweaking before it becomes useful, at least for me.

I'll send you a PM with the various categories I tend to keep track of...

Hey buddy,
Im still in the UK, just in the process of selling my business etc.
