- 📦Budget Bestie updated to version 1.7.2hey besties, budget bestie has a fresh new look: a lighter pink, a plus right in the middle, and cleaner envelope cards that show what's left at a glance. when money is waiting, home shows one stuff now button. new envelopes pick an emoji from the name, or choose your own. you can see the amount you type while you stuff. we fixed a few things too: stuffing never changes an envelope you didn't touch, the recap's money in list matches what you made, and if your connection drops as you open the app, it lets you in and brings your envelopes back on its own once you're online. keep on stuffing!… more

- 📦Budget Bestie updated to version 1.7.1hey besties, you told us, we listened. 2 per row is back, so you can see more of your envelopes at a glance again. like the bigger cards better? turn off compact home view in settings. empty envelopes dim, each card shades as you spend, and savings goals have their progress bar back. we fixed a crash on the envelope screen, too. thank you for every message, besties. keep them coming, and keep on stuffing!… more

About Budget Bestie
hey bestie, ready to make budgeting effortless? with budget bestie, you can take full control of your money on your own terms—whether you get paid weekly, biweekly, twice a month, or monthly, we’ve got you covered. using the cash stuffing method, you’ll say goodbye to stress and hello to a budgeting approach that fits your life perfectly.
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
what our besties are saying:
“First full month of the app and it's so simple. I've not had to dip into my emergency fund or sinking fund or use overdraft. I've even managed to put some money towards debt and not reuse it” - @Nicola Disney Pomeranian Mummy
"Been using budget bestie for a month!The monthly recap made me realize I spend so much on little things (like buying to go lunch everyday) since it's in budget, but never seen how much it adds up" – @Julia
"This app is great I have been searching for a budgeting app that lets me budget per check and this is it” - @Chy6699
“Definitely helped me the last two weeks. Can't wait to see how much money I can save.” - @Erin Backes
