Are you using You Need A Budget?
Spotsaas Editor’s POV
YNAB (You Need A Budget) uses a digital envelope system where you allocate money to specific spending categories before you spend it.

As simple as it gets
Made my budgeting as simple as possible. It takes a few weeks of getting used to, but it's a different approach to how you manage money. Would absolutely recommend.

Super approachable budgeting program.
As long as they continue to improve, I'll keep using YNAB. It's the first time my household has managed to maintain anything resembling a proper budget!
