He just matter of factly walked me through how he monitored his spending and earning and setup the spreadsheet formulas, and I was able to build a template of my own.

他只是实事求是地向我介绍了他如何监控自己的支出和收入以及如何设置电子表格公式，然后我就能够构建自己的模板。

Think of those attempts to change the margins on Word or Google documents, or the hours spent trying to work out where exactly you need to put the missing bracket in that broken spreadsheet formula.

想一想那些改变 Word 或 Google 文档页边距的尝试，或者花费数小时试图找出您需要在那个损坏的电子表格公式中准确放置缺失的括号的位置。
