My husband developed an app and we run it on a Raspberry Pi to visualize across time where we will be down the line.

It’s just all in my brain.

I Use a spreadsheet. But for the most part, house bills are in the joint account, personal bills are in my bill account. Then the rest os free reight. Really gotta get better at saving.

Same, I take a mental note of everything.

2 checkings, 2 savings, one cash fund.

I manage my savings and checking, we have one shared account for groceries and such, and I’ve just convinced my husband to start saving effectively (no dipping into savings for whatever reason) when funds are low, we start to budget until our paydays.

I don’t necessarily have a budget just buy what we need and check the accounts along the way to make sure I don’t need to add more

My husband mostly does it, but that’s only because he is literally a financial advisor/CFP. We each have different bills we pay and have both joint and separate accounts. I know roughly how much I should be putting on my credit card each month, but I don’t budget down to the dollar.

I do have a budget but just keep track of it mentally lol. We hardly spend money, other than mortgage/utility/car/phone bills we pretty much just spend $600/month on grocery (two $250 Aldi trips and 1 $100 Walmart trip) and like $150/month on gas. Oh and my husband gets a $40 monthly haircut.

My husband and I made a spreadsheet on his computer together. I’m a SAHM and he sends me money once a month. He typically sends $2k monthly and I use it on bills, groceries, gas, and whatever else we need/want. He also budgets and saves money for what he uses. If it’s a big expense, we talk it out before deciding anything

It don’t matter, as long as it works for you.

I’m notoriously bad with money, so on payday I have standing orders set up to siphon it off into separate accounts so I can’t blow it all at once. I drop a little bit of fun money into my Monzo every week. I still manage to run a small overdraft all month, but it keeps me from going crazy. Having actual money in my account seems to burn a hole in my psychological wallet.

I use the notes app in my phone lol

Budget. Let's talk how we paying for good and strategies we using!

I don’t really have a budget but I definitely will put pen to paper to see where finances are going when I need to pay a big credit card bill or want to make a big purchase. All the apps ive seen charge money for premium budgeting and pen and paper is just laying around in your house lol

We use google sheets
