Matt and I have always had a budget. We know how much money is coming in, and we've allotted a certain amount to each category in our lives. What we haven't done well is keep the budget.
Where did all the money go?
Why weren't we saving as much as we thought we would?
Looking through our bank statements was helpful. But the same thing would happen the next month.
Until now...
We've been using an amazing online tool for tracking where all that money is going.
It's called Pear Budget.
It's so simple. I spent about 30 minutes inputting our budget at the very beginning. I spend about 10 minutes each evening inputting our receipts for the day.
And now we know exactly where all that money is going. (A lot is spent on eating out!) Eye-opening.
It's really helping us actually stick to our budget. Check it out.

YES! I love pear budget! I'm going on my 2nd month using it and it is awesome. so simple, yet exactly what I wanted!
THANK YOU!!! We live too far from civilization to eat out very much (dang) so I am thankful for help with that potential expense, however, I never think we have as much as we should to put into our savings! This will be very helpful!!!
I'm trying it :)
