Would you mind sharing what some of your categories are when tracking through excel? Do you list by date or project? thanks!

That bothered me a great deal, so I made a spreadsheet in Excel and just enter things as they happen. No big deal. That being said, while I have listed all my purchases and the amounts over the years, I have not added them all up.
I own 4 machines and do know they cost a total of about $14000. A significant amount if I had to replace them. That does not include the fabric, thread, tools, notions, etc that would have to be replaced.
I think I need to talk to my insurance person about this. Do I need a special add-on for this? Maybe increase my amount of coverage. And I am retired living on that "fixed income" and no husband to help me out.
Kinda wished I had skipped this thread.....lol
