My old budget spreadsheet finally gave up on me last Tuesday

I've been using the same Excel file to track my spending since 2015, and it just crashed and wouldn't open. I tried everything, even the 'Open and Repair' tool, but it was totally corrupted. It had nine years of my financial history in there, from my first apartment rent to saving for my car. I had to rebuild it from my bank statements, which took about four hours. Has anyone else had a trusted system fail like that, and what did you switch to?

Maybe you should start saving a backup copy in the cloud too?

Heard cloud backups can save you from that...
