Hey all,
Looking to get my finances in order and hoping to find some great free budgeting software. What’s worked well for you? I’m after something that’s user-friendly and helps me keep track of my spending without any hidden costs.
For free and user-friendly budgeting software, you might want to check out Mint. It’s popular for its ease of use and comprehensive features, allowing you to track your spending, set budgets, and manage bills all in one place. Personal Capital is another great option, especially if you’re also interested in tracking investments alongside your budgeting. YNAB (You Need A Budget) offers a free trial and is known for its proactive budgeting approach, though the full version is paid. For something a bit simpler, EveryDollar provides a basic free version that covers essential budgeting needs. All these tools can help you get a handle on your finances without hidden costs.
A few years ago, I realized I needed to take control of my finances but didn’t want to spend money on budgeting software. I tried a few options and eventually settled on using Mint, which I found to be incredibly user-friendly and completely free. It helped me track my spending, set up budgets, and even send alerts for upcoming bills—all without any hidden costs. It’s been my go-to for keeping my finances in check, and the convenience of syncing with my accounts made it easy to stay on top of everything. If you’re looking for something straightforward and reliable, Mint might work well for you too.
