Cheap way to help keep your house cool in the summer heat.

In the summer, I put cheap reflective Mylar emergency blankets on windows and sliding glass doors that get full direct sun. I use a spray bottle to mist water on the glass, place the blanket on the glass, smooth it out, and then a likely clear tap on the edges. It cost less then a $1 per window and significantly cuts my energy bill.

I'll take it down in the fall because I want the full sun to help heat the house.

Actual vs Budget Forcast tool?

Currently, I use Excel to track my spending and budget. I created a cash flow chart that combines my actual income/spending (left of the red line) with my projected budgeted cash flow (right of the red line). It's helpful because I can see when money will be tight and make changes. Do you know of any budgeting/accounting software that can create something like this? Most just show you where you've been and not where you are going. Any suggestions?
