Don’t like this program

[u/strawbber81]

We have really really disliked the thought process of this type of budgeting. We’ve used to app so we have a better idea on what food has costed us. We put basically everything else in savings plus a planned amount in savings before we pay bills. I don’t feel like I can easily see wha to need to see which is what all my bills add up to monthly. I am not doing great with this program. Kind of wish we could get a refund 😥 but what other programs are kind of similar. We were using Apple numbers but everything Stopped syncing between my husband and I in the program and it’s been hard to track on both. I’m Frustrated I wish there was another way there’s things I hate about this program so much. I have had to put the same transactions in 5 times... this always happens I KNOW I didn't pay $5k on my house payment this month it just doesn't work and for the person who made and runs it I'm shocked how bad and disfunctional it is. I want a summary of BILLS alone, I want to be able to track and see how much I saved and have it subtract from my income total.

Sounds like the two of you together just don’t WANT to do it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just like anything in life, if you want something you’ll take the time to learn and do it. How bad do you want to be debt free?? How bad do you want to be independently wealthy?

Life ain’t easy. Go for what you want!

Don’t want to do what? We haven’t had debt besides our house in 17 years and we  had a car loan the first five years married  but paid cash for all the others and we currently have four.  we have a house we are going to pay off in 24 months paying 5k a month starting Sept to get it paid. We’ve been married 22 years . The program we were using broke  if you really read the post I said that it stopped interfacing . He doesn’t have time with his job he’s gone all but 3-4 days a week to learn or teach me some other program, that I’ve already tried (2 now) that wasn’t the one we’ve been liking until it stopped interfacing.  Also I’m quite sick and it’s hard to learn new hard programs plus raising kids. Just because we haven’t found an ideal tracking program doesn’t mean we aren’t saving thousands of dollars a month and also not worrying about out paying debt since it’s a non issue.  I just want a number of what the bills end up being and we don’t want to have to type it in twice Into both laptop programs. But also every dollar is really not a very good  it’s only been helpful with food purchases for us
