Envelope Budget Management
Budgeting is often a challenge due to unpredictable spending habits and poor tracking tools. People who want to control their money often struggle with staying on top of their envelopes and knowing when they’ve overspent.
Envelope Budget Management helps you stay on track by allowing you to manage your budget by categories (or envelopes). You can visually track your expenses and stay aware of how much you’ve spent in real-time. The Burndown chart and visualizations provide a clear way to see if you’re staying within budget month by month.
