Turning 19 this month, and I want to start taking more initiative over my life. I earn hourly, get paid weekly, and my paychecks are always different depending on how my manager makes the weekly schedule (and when I do overtime). Learning how to budget is probably one of the first few steps I want to take as I start my life, basically, and things have been super stressful lately, so thank you for the videos

Do you know of any platforms that allow you to download statements?

Have you done a video on the pros and cons of having multiple credit cards with different banks?

@BrittanyFlammer Жыл бұрын

That's a great question. I don't have a video comparing the credit cards at different banks. We do use credit cards, but rather sparingly, and we pretty. much have a card we've used for years we're happy with. If you're wanting a credit card with travel rewards, Chase Sapphire Preferred is my recommendation. If you're looking for cash back, Wells Fargo Active Cash is a great option. If you want one at an online bank, SoFi online bank with their credit card would be my first choice. Here's a video tutorial on SoFi: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eduFZ899ytmygKc.html (I mention the credit card at the last time stamp 11:08 minutes into the video). I'm sorry I don't have more info, but i hope that's helpful.

Thanks for this video! I'm a very visual learner and dyslexic. Is there one that is more visual, with colors and symbols and not too many parts that look like a plain Excel sheet?

@BrittanyFlammer Жыл бұрын

That’s a great question. If I had to choose, I would say EveryDollar is the most visual app. It is the simplest, and there are different colors for income and expenses. There are also some different charts. If you try it out, let me know how you like it.

@Joshabillings 7 ай бұрын

Qube you can make it accept any transactions under a certain amount at all times. This allows you to select which qube it comes from later. So essentially it will solve the issues with the card not working or Amazon orders. It will then just work as a regular debit and you then assign the transaction after the fact

Can you use Mint and/or Personal Captial manually? I am just not ready to let these types of apps connect to my accounts directly. Thanks for the insight!

Great question - and totally understandable. Mint does let you manually enter transactions - you can add the date, amount, store, and categorize it. Personal Capital (now called Empower) doesn't let you do it manually.

Curious if any of these budgeting apps also have a feature for monthly bank account reconciliations and reporting??? I have been seeking a financial app that is an all around app, not just focused on budgeting, just for personal use.

@BrittanyFlammer Жыл бұрын

I don't know of any that have reconciliations. I think Empower (Personal Capital's new name) is the closest to that. It compares this month's spending to last months spending. If you allow notifications they will update you regularly comparing this month's spending to the previous month. I'm sorry I'm not more helpful...and that it took me so long to respond!

Hi, which budgetting site or app is best for fortnightly income, with weekly fortnightly monthly and yearly bills?

@BrittanyFlammer Жыл бұрын

That's a great question. Most budgeting apps focus on monthly budgeting. YNAB is a little different, because you focus on the money you've already been paid, not projecting how much you are going to make. But, it's complicated to get started. If you don't want a steep learning curve, I'd suggest trying EveryDollar. It is monthly, not fortnightly. But, you can set the bill due dates. If you're okay manually entering transactions it's completely free. If you upgrade to the premium version ($80/year) they will import your transactions and they have a paycheck planning feature. This shows you how much you will have throughout the month. You can set the dates you will get paid...for example the 1st and 15th. It will track how much money you should have in your account throughout the month based on bill due dates and paycheck dates. I hope that makes sense. Here's a tutorial on EveryDollar: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLeWeKua0c6ykn0.html

We purchase around $6K in Amazon each year. All on one credit card. What is the best way to categorize these transactions? Some purchases are for pets, clothing, household, etc. Any way to "import" what I can download from Amazon?

@BrittanyFlammer 7 ай бұрын

That is a very good question…how are you buying stuff on Amazon? If you are using an Amazon credit card or another credit card, you should be able to link that credit card to any of these apps. If you want to download your Amazon transactions, you can manually import that into tiller. I’m not sure of another app that will let you import a spreadsheet of the top of my head. With any of the apps (except tiller) you’d have to categorize the Amazon transactions manually since they are coming from so many different categories. Another option would be to have an Amazon category in your monthly budget…just a thought. Let me know if this doesn’t make sense.

I looked at Mint for PC but apparently it is an ON-LINE only app and nothing to download. I also believe it forces you to load up your bank accounts without the ability to bypass that if you do not want to.

Mint is an online app, so there isn’t anything to download. You can use it without linking your bank accounts and manually enter in transactions, but if you’re going to do that I would choose everydollar over mint.

Good question. Anytime you link anything online there’s a risk. That being said, these 3rd parties usually use plaid (or the equivalent) with high end encryption. Basically, it’s as safe as logging into your bank online. Adding 2 factor authentication and unique passwords is always recommended.

E Everydollar - you share a login and access the same budget. YNAB - you can have one manager and invite up to 5 others to share on the budget Honeydue - is meant for couples, but is more reflecting on your spending rather than planning/budgeting. Monarch Money - you can invite your partner for a joint view of your finances Simplifi (by Quicken) - you can also invite your partner (or other accountant/financial planner)
