EveryDollar

Happy Friday! Recently, I decided to install the EveryDollar app to help out with my budget. Where was this when I decided to start budgeting? It is exactly what I was looking for in a budgeting app! It’s easy to navigate and I don’t have to connect my various accounts to it to use the features. I don’t think I had to connect my accounts to all the apps I tried to use before, but it seemed to be strongly encouraged and I’m just very against that. I found that if I didn’t connect my accounts, some of these other apps were very confusing to use. I haven’t been a fan of any I’ve tried and I’m trying to get out of debt so I wanted something free.

I heard about the app several times while watching Dave Ramsey. I don’t follow his methodology exactly when it comes to paying off my debt so at first I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it. I do watch Dave a lot and I decided to try the app after hearing him talk about it in a little more detail. When I realized it didn’t sound like I needed to connect all my various accounts to it, I was sold. You have to pay to do that, actually.

I’ll put a picture in of what it looks like for me. I might delete some of the categories I don’t need but for now, I left them in. I’m going to keep doing my Google Sheets budget too for now and I’ll see what happens.
