Giveaway! Win a Free Year of EveryDollar Plus

Do you like to budget? Yes? Then you’ll love EveryDollar! No? Then you’ll love EveryDollar!

If you’ve read any budgeting-related posts on this blog, then you know I’m a huge advocate of the zero-based budget. If that term is foreign to you, a zero-based budget is a method of budgeting that takes into account the amount of income expected in a given month and that amount is planned out or “spent” down to the last dollar. In a nutshell…

Your Income – Your Expenses = Zero

The zero-based budget works because it’s not theoretical. You are deciding how to spend every single dollar of your income, so there isn’t much room for overspending or accidentally putting your money towards purchases while more pressing expenses go unaddressed. This type of budget puts you in control of where your money is going. You get to drive the budgeting bus.

Up Your Budgeting Game With EveryDollar

The are many budgeting tools and apps available to use, but not many use the zero-based method. EveryDollar is one of them.

While you don’t need software to do a zero-based budget or any budget for that matter (paper and pencil or a spreadsheet work as well), software just makes it that much easier.

In addition to using EveryDollar on your computer, you can download the app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android devices, so your budget is with you on the go. That’s a bit harder to do with paper and pencil, and having your budget on your phone can help keep you in check when you’re tempted to make an impulse purchase!

EveryDollar is actually free to use, which is awesome, but EveryDollar Plus, the premium subscription, allows connectivity to your bank accounts which is awesome-er. 😉 You can automatically download all your transactions and categorize them so you can see how much you have left to spend in your categories.

Now that we’ve covered what a zero-based budget is and how EveryDollar can help you rock budgeting, let’s get to the fun stuff. (I mean more fun stuff because budgeting is fun, right?)
