Hello, I retired to try and save a failing marriage. This was a bad idea HA. I need a free budget app. Do you have any suggestions? :slight_smile:

I use a spreadsheet (Apple Numbers).

I will. Thanks.

I’d recommend trying Fina Money. It is free for manual entry. It’s easy to use and helps you track your spending and plan ahead. Mint is another good one, but Fina Money works great for me.

Good Steward is completely free and local only if you don’t mind manually adding transactions or importing transactions (in CSV, OFX/QFX, etc.) from your bank. Should have everything you’d need for budgeting. Give it a try if you are interested!

I love the spreadsheet offered by DebtFreeMom.co (free, or $9 if you need videos on how to set up a budget). She does pay period budgeting, so you know where your money is going every paycheck and where you have a deficit or surplus.
