What tools or applications do you use to control your income and expenses? How do you save money or invest your money?

I never use financial apps, because making a budget is very easy. Financial apps will not be useful if we cannot know how much we spend each month.

I just draw out the plans to make sure I don't over shoot my income but keeping to it is the big problem I need to overcome

I use an app for budgeting and saving. However, I am the traditional type so I use pen and paper most of the time. LOL. I hope I can do budgeting properly this year.

Using budgeting apps will make it easier to prepare budgets, in companies financial data will be more transparent and will be difficult to manipulate, unfortunately if there is a system error our financial data will be lost.

I have a budget planner with me to always remind me to stick to my budget and never go beyond it. I hate being in debt.

I have been searching for an app to help me plan and manage things but I am yet to find one. For now I mostly do things the old fashioned way. I have a list I used for calculations and planning.

My mobile money app has tools for budgeting and automated savings. And I utilize these tools to manage my finances. They help me track my expenses too.

I utilize a budgeting and saving app, but being more traditional, I prefer using pen and paper most of the time.

I do not use any budgeting apps. Actually, I do not set a budget, but I do have a rough estimate of how much I can afford to spend every month.

I use my commonsense in budgeting and saving. Saving does not require tools if save offline, go to the bank let the money grow and invests when it's already efficient.

it is to stick to the plan there's no two ways about it. When you have the budget you should stick to it.

I am single and so, I run a personal budget. What I do is to set financial goals according to my needs and give a timeframe to get that solved according to my financial position.

I have a rough estimate of how much I am expecting to earn every month. I start making my budget a week before the money arrives.
