Which app for tracking budget/spending?

Phate · 22 May 2014 at 20:59

Hi all,

Knuckling down on my spending. I have a spreadsheet with a yearly budget which is fairly good and gives me a good idea of what I should have left over. But I think if I break it down and track it per item I'll know where I need to kerb things more

Anyone got any apps that can recommend?

Ta!

I'd be interested too. The amount I get through with nothing to show for it scares me...

Ironically all the notable rated ones are expensive for an app

I don't know how powerful it is but Money Lover is what I use on my phone. Can put anything in it and it creates pie charts etc and keeps track of income/expense

I've installed the YNAB trial for the time being, see how I get on with it, seems pretty good so far.

I use YNAB, it is very good.

They have some webinars showing you how to use the software. They give away a free copy of the software after each class to one person. That is how I ended up getting my copy.

Also turns up in Steam Sale every now and then for £13.

If you can't wait for the big sales, a whole $6 off with http://ynab.refr.cc/7H5VSZ2 . Better than nothing! :cool:

MoneyWiz is good.

on the desktop I use an old verison of quicken, does what I need it to do; I don't use autostatement downloads etc.. but I believe the optionis there for compatible banks. I just use it as a glorify speadsheet.

on the go, I use my banks app; I tend to move my petty cash to another account to stop me overspending.. and big; is now a sit down and let me think about this moment. lol
