You can try the following two and I assure you that you won’t regret later:
- YNAB (You Need a Budget): YNAB follows the zero-based budgeting system, where you actively plan for every dollar you earn. It prompts you to allocate your income toward various categories like spending, savings, and debt. YNAB is hands-on and offers educational resources to help you get started. It works on multiple devices and allows account linking. However, it is relatively expensive at $14.99/month or $99/year.
- PocketGuard: PocketGuard provides a simplified budgeting snapshot. It connects to your accounts, categorizes transactions, and shows your spending trends. It is user-friendly and helps you stay on top of your finances.
I’ve been experimenting with the website projectionlab.com.
With the help of this program, you can simulate various financial strategies involving your assets, liabilities, taxes, and Roth conversions.
