I'd never kept track of my expenses before, and the outcome was obvious: at the end of the month I kept asking myself where did all my money go. After reading some reviews and digging a little bit further into the topic, I figured out that setting a budget wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. Now I'm using a free web based personal finance planning and budgeting software https://www.inexfinance.com/. Having my money carefully divided among different spending categories gives me peace of mind and I no longer worry that I'll run out of money way before the end of the month.

Nice work! In the New Year I love going back and looking at the budgeting techniques others are using. Envelope budgeting seems to be one of the most successful systems I come across. It takes some dedication and discipline, but I think the effort is well worth it for those in debt. I just came across this post. Nice work!

Just ask for separate cash amounts. "I need $615 in cash but in 3 separate amounts: $220, 310, and $85." The teller will do the rest.

Just ask for separate cash amounts.

For example, its free, it automatically downloads my transactions, and setting it up is a breeeze. It does lack some features (like graphs), but it makes up for it in its simplicity to use.
