Agreed. Another thing that's annoying is how they translate the formulas in localized versions. Not problem if you work in a unilingual environment, but with users using three different versions, it can be challenging to explain what exactly went wrong with their calculations.
Also, pivot tables!

Spreadsheets are pretty handy. As longas you know what's going on. A lot of people understand their own spreadsheets but fail to make other people understand them, and that's where the issue begins. And some spreadsheets are just purr clusterfuck, those need to die in a nucular explosion.
To an extent, spreadsheets can be a poor man's database, you just meed to do it right. Basically, a spreadsheet can be treated like a single database table, or at least excel csn do it. On a side note: I don't like databases. I can't really handle them, for whatever reason. But Spreadsheet databasing? That I can do.

Even if you SELL a kidney, Marten, that'd still require a budget EVENTUALLY. :-P
BenRG:
Something tells me that this is the point where Claire introduces Marten to 'Independent Adult Living - Lesson 1'. I do understand why he automatically rebels at the thought of having to plan stuff like this. I'm sure having a budget makes it harder to maintain his personal illusion of being the 'footloose and fancy free' young adult but you have to face up to stuff like this eventually!
Notice that Claire is eating with a fork off of a plate? That's a symptom (maybe even an advantage) of having stayed with her mother for most of her student life. She's always had nutritious meals served properly; she's never had to subsist on ramen and noodles on occasion, the way Marten and Faye likely have. Thus she's never had the cause to learn how to use chopsticks!
Finally, I'd ask Pintsize to stop enabling damaging behaviour but I suspect that would be expecting too much of him!
Cornelius:
On the other hand, Pintsize's enabling behaviour might just be the thing that's signalling Marten that it's a bad idea.
