Allocating expenses

The most common buckets are:

  • Expenses, or your needs: housing, food, transportation, clothing, insurance, childcare,  etc.
  • Debt - monthly debt obligations: personal loan, student loan, auto loan, and credit card payments etc.
  • Savings, including funds for your emergency fund.
  • Consider automating your retirement contributions to ensure you stick to the plan.
  • Wants: don't deprive yourself.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
