How do you manage your personal finances?

Hey!

Like note taking, everyone has a different approach to managing their FINANCES.

How do YOU keep track of it all?

Excel? Pad/Pen? How many different institutions do you bank/invest with? How do you know you're on the right financial track?

Those are things I've been asking myself for a while, and building something to scratch my own itch, (I'm team excel spreadsheet logging into and checking +3 institutions)

I'm working on a financial management app and would love to hear YOUR thoughts.

Hey Mikaal 👋

I’m a big fan of YNAB.

I’ve used it for a couple of years now and it’s definitely helped me to track my spending across a few different accounts and to build up my savings. I choose to log each transaction manually instead of automating it, as I find it makes me more conscious of my spending.

  Thanks Auster!
  
  Yeah YNAB seems pretty well loved. Anything problems you run into using that? Or information you wish it provided?
  
  Thanks again for responding!

    No problem!
    
    Honestly, I don't really run into any problems using it. They make it pretty effortless to track my spending and set up my budgets. That said, I do find I normally plan out my budget in a separate Google Sheet first and also use it to track savings goals.
