What budget apps do you recommend? Ideally, I’m looking for something user-friendly that helps with tracking expenses and saving money. I’m looking forward to your suggestions!

Hi Thomas!

Here’s a list of budget apps that are user-friendly and can help with tracking expenses and saving money:

  • YNAB (You Need a Budget): This app is great for hands-on zero-based budgeting and encourages planning ahead for every dollar you earn.
  • Goodbudget: Known for its envelope budgeting system, which can be very effective for managing different spending categories.
  • EveryDollar: Offers a simple zero-based budgeting approach and is quite straightforward to use.
  • PocketGuard: Provides a simplified budgeting snapshot to help prevent overspending by keeping an eye on available funds.
  • Honeydue: Excellent for couples looking to budget together, allowing both partners to track expenses and manage finances jointly.

Each app has a unique approach to budgeting, so you might want to try a few to see which one suits your financial habits and goals the best.

Many of them offer free versions or trials, allowing you to explore their features before making a decision.

Happy budgeting! :blush:
