Garga Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) Any recommendations? Note the "free" part is in stone. My dh and I are really good savers, but we have had a bunch of bills lately and it's not been as effortless to save. We'd like a budget so we have a clearly picture of where the money is going and so we can know exactly how much money we have to play with for fun things. I'd rather not reinvent the wheel and create a budget plan from scratch, so any recommendations for a plan that already exists would be most welcome. We have ipads, and at most (most) we would spend $10 on a super good app (so not quite stone...). But that would be a last resort. ETA: We don't need to be taught how to save. We are skinflints and miserly at heart and we love it. However, the unexpected bills have us a little unsettled and we need to see everything laid out in writing in buckets or categories or something. I'm saying this because some people never were taught how to save and they need to know about budgetting from the very bottom up. We just need a website or program or something to lay out all the categories/buckets for us. Edited December 27, 2015 by Garga_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 maybe mint.com?? I have heard good things. We use Quicken but it is not free. I know people who used Quicken who now use Mint and like it. Anyone else have experience with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcsuttles Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Check out everydollar.com - its a free budgeting tool and I believe there is an iPhone/iPad app as well. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe teach me and my hubby?! ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyMommy Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I really like the everydollar.com website. There is a paid version, but honestly it doesn't do anything I have found necessary (mainly links to your bank account) so I did the free trial but have never paid for it. It's quite $$ IMO. The free version gets everything done I need. My only complaint is you can't use it with android systems, but if you have an iphone/ipad there is a free app I think would be very helpful.
