Life saving budgeting tool
Posted by on November 19, 2009
Mom had been the one handling the Family Budget, and it was tough seeing her wrestle with our funds. She always apologized whenever she couldn’t afford to send us off to summer camp or on a trip because she always had to use the cash she stashed away for those for some other purpose.
Now that Mom is older I decided to help out, and in my search for a solution, I stumbled upon Mvelopes. After reviewing the different functions listed, I decided this would be worthwhile, however, before telling Mom about this, I decided to experiment with it a little.
I signed up for the trial version, and after reviewing my current financial status with the net worth tracking tool, I got my Personal Budget planned out. I couldn’t believe that I was able to commit fully to the envelope categories I had set up for myself, not to mention how easy it was to record what I spent through my cellular or a PC.
To end this story, Mom and I now have a 1 year plan each for $129.60 and the last time I called, Mom couldn’t be any happier.
