You have to buy an application/productivity program. Least
expensive is MS WORKS 7.0. WORKS has templates for most of
the common tasks such as budgets. You can get it for about
$50-60, if you want a fancier word processor included, MS
WORKS SUITE includes MS WORD for about $100 just to buy WORD
by itself is about $180 otherwise.
You can find MS Office for student and teachers at all the
stores for $125-150 it includes WORD, EXCEL, PowerPoint and
Outlook. You are supposed to be a student or teacher but
Best Buy or Office Max won't ask.

I'm glad you said "or something like it."
You may enjoy using OpenOffice, which is an Office suite that is free. http://www.openoffice.org/
This is the latest release!
Neither Windows XP nor any other version of Windows has ever come
with Excel. any other spreadsheet software, nor with any other
significant application software.
If you want Excel, you need to buy it, either alone, as part of
Microsoft Office. Alternatively you buy get another Office Suite,
such as Corel WordpPerfect, StarOffice, or the free OpenOffice.

Actually, the least expensive option would be something like
OpenOffice, which is free (you just have to download it) and opens a
majority of MS Office documents.
