Web Site: BudgetSimple
REASON:
Where is
my money going? Am I spending most of it on food? Entertainment? These are all
common questions we ask ourselves when we see our funds depleting. Budgeting is
an easy way to plan and monitor where your money goes.
BudgetSimple is a free website designed to allow you to input your spending and
saving habits month to month. It can help you locate where your money is going
and where you can cut back. Along with the Excel like spreadsheet, it has a
budget planner to keep a running ledger of expenses and can show graphically
where you are spending most of your money. Also, there are helpful budgeting
tips covering a variety of categories, such as how to teach kids about money
and credit card pros and cons. With this website, you can keep track of your
spending and income, as well as figure out how to be happier with your budget.
Budgeting
online may not be your cup of tea, but it is an important aspect of your
financial health. Whether it be with another website or a spreadsheet you
create on your own, keep track of your finances starting now, so you can have
some fun later and not worry about never having enough. Use your money wisely
and don’t live outside your means.
TRY ME: Create your own free budget! With an email
address and password you can start managing your finances today. Don’t worry, they
do not ask for any other personal information. And you can avoid using your
work or school email, just in case.
Figure
out how to have a surplus sooner rather than later!
