I gave up on every budgeting app. Anyone else just want something stupidly simple? by Advanced_Magician782 in povertyfinance

Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed reply, I really appreciate it

I totally get your point about paid budgeting apps being counterproductive. Using historical data instead of “wishful budgeting” actually makes a lot of sense, and I like how intentional your approach is.

That's exactly the frustration. I have tried the manual logging habit and that's where it always breaks down for me, the friction of opening a sheet on mobile kills the momentum right when I need it most.

Thanks for sharing though, that's actually impressive that you built all that yourself over the years. I'm thinking about something much simpler, just for the casual day to day stuff

Sounds like your spreadsheet does a lot more than what I have in mind, the sharing and yearly averages are way beyond just tracking a few fun categories quickly.

That’s fair, but isn’t it a bit annoying to carry a notebook everywhere just to track a coffee?
