10 Reasons Why BudgetTracker Is My New Best Friend
I’ve struggled with Budgets for years.
In fact getting my budget sorted has been my New Years Resolution for at least a decade.
I’ve tried Excel spreadsheets of my own, but always got lost trying to make them work the way I wanted them to work. I would labour over the layout and data entry only to discover my knowledge of Excel was insufficient to enable me to do what I really wanted to do!
I also couldn’t get the Excel spreadsheets to look the way I wanted them to look. I’m a hyper-visual person who needs to visualise information in order to understand it & interpret it. My inability to create an Excel spreadsheet that resonated with me visually also drove me to distraction.
Needless to say I’d persevere until I hit a wall that I couldn’t conceivably climb over and then I would throw it all in… until the first day of January the following year… when the excruciating process would begin again.
Last year however, I discovered BudgetTracker – the solution to all of my budgeting and financial forecasting requirements. My new best friend.
I’m not one for blowing trumpets unnecessarily. I am, however, all for giving praise where praise is due which is why I wanted to share this exciting discovery with you.
The benefits of BudgetTracker are extensive, but here are the ones that appealed to me:
1. It is affordable. There is a yearly subscription which equates to about $0.08 per day.
2. It can be used for personal use, and/or business use. I use it for both.
3. Despite using it for business and personal purposes I can still easily separate my business and personal expenses without compromising my ability to view a complete snapshot of my financial situation at any given time.
4. I can view my Nett worth in one place; on one page. I don’t have to log into every account I have to see where I am situated financially.
5. I have the flexibility of viewing my financial situation on a daily, weekly, monthly basis; you can choose the way your financial information is displayed.
6. I can download my transactions from my bank accounts, or enter the information manually.
7. I can create a flexible budget for my personal and business needs. It’s great for planning a purchase (a new computer perhaps) or saving for a holiday.
8. I can schedule bills as one offs or recurring transactions. Once my bills are scheduled I can use calendar view to gauge what my monthly financial activity is likely to look like so there are no surprises.
9. I can monitor my loans and the reduction of my debts.
10. I have access to it from anywhere in the world because it is hosted in cyber space.
So, if you are looking to finally sort out your budgeting once and for all then I urge you to try BudgetTracker today. It will take some time to set it up with your financial information, but there are great instructions that you can follow and a groovy little pop up window that explains things to you as you go.
If you’re ready to seriously take control of your finances today and stay one step ahead of yourself, then do yourself a favour and sign up with BudgetTracker – you’ll be best friends in no time!
With Life, LOVE & Laughter,
