YNAB - worth every penny.

Another vote for ynab, revolutionised my spending

My Husband!!!

Goodbudget. Works like YNAB but its free ;-)

haha kirstyc75 not sure if he'll come over this eve to sort out our budget so we'll go with YNAB!

ooo the free one would be even better, in keeping with the spirit of saving and all of that

Goodbudget only has a limited amount free so maybe give that a go and swap to YNAB if you get into it.

I use YNAB and love it to bits. I use far more then the 20 envelopes I would get free with goodbudget so the one off payment for YNAB works out better value for me.

YNAB for us. You get a 34 day trial so you could try it without committing. I guarantee that you'll have made £30 back in savings before the trial ends, though!

I use an app called HomeBudget, it was free. I don't know how it compares to the others that have been mentioned as it is the only one I have used. I put in my regular bills (time consuming to start) then make categories for all other spending, and allocate an ideal budget. I regularly input all expenditiure .
At a glance I can see how much is left on different budgets and I can search on any words if I need to to know how much we have spent on x or y. It's helped me feel more on top of things and make decisions - eg if the eating out budget is spent, or an overspend on clothes means beans on toast for a week.
I chose a free one thinking that if it was good & I actually used it I would move on to a paid-for one. I use another similar free app for some building work we are doing, to log expenditure.
