A free beginners budgeting guide or App?

Can anyone recommend something for DS who is now in his first job and renting a house share.

The landlord wanted rent quarterly up front so DS used the bank of mum and dad as he hadn't been paid then. He's now trying to catch up and save for the next quarter. I've also reminded him that his energy bills will only get higher

He's never had to think about money before so I'd like to get him off to a good start.

Does this help:

It's in $, but the principles are the same You Need A Budget

Having a second current account, possibly one that pays interest. He pays a set amount each month that covers all bills including quarterly (rent) and annual (insurance). All DD go out of this.

Some good ideas. You need a budget has a charge though.
