About Budget Bestie
okay but what’s cash stuffing?
1. create envelopes – create an envelope for each expense category like food, eating out, rent
2. stuff your envelopes – put all of your cash into envelopes based on how much you’ll spend before you get paid again
3. spend your money – this is the fun part - don’t feel guilty for spending your hard earned money. when you buy something, use the cash from the corresponding envelope
4. get paid, repeat - record your income (cha-ching) and go back to step 2, stuff your envelopes
how budget bestie works
- no need to carry cash - we’ve taken this 100+ year old proven technique and put it in your iPhone
- say bye to math and spreadsheets - we’ll recommend how much to stuff into each envelope based on previous spending habits and upcoming bills
- avoid late fees by getting reminded - we’ll send you a notification when you haven’t recorded paying a recurring expense
- hit your savings goals - create savings envelopes and we’ll make sure you’re on track to hit your goals
- budget on your schedule - whether it’s weekly, biweekly, twice a month, or monthly, you can budget based on what works for you

"This app is great I have been searching for a budgeting app that lets me budget per check and this is it” - @Chy6699

wish there was a free or cheaper option
i was really excited to use this app as i saw it on my fyp and thought it’d be a fun and cute way to help me be mindful of my spending. although i understand that there’s a lot that goes into making an app and there needs to be some kinda profit, but i wish it would’ve been more clear about it when i downloaded the app. it took me through a whole sequence of “stuffing my envelopes” and all that stuff, just to then leave me on a paying screen. felt like a waste of time and lowered my expectations. 8.99 monthly is also just a bit much in my opinion considering this is a budgeting app. might as well just make an google sheets or use notion to track

cheaper subscription options needed.
it'd be awesome if there we're a cheaper option, such as $2.99 USD, in order to use the app. i'm struggling with my money and would love to use this app but $8.99 USD is too much for me. it's just making it more difficult on my end. i want to support the app though. please consider cheaper options, even if it limits a feature or two.
