I have been using an OLD desktop version of Quicken and it just crashed. I deleted it and readded it, to no avail, I can't restore my data. So. I'm looking into Quicken Simplifi. Can I customize or add my own categories? Thanks so much for your time and this awesome video.
Glad to see you wearing the DVF dress! I was saying KEEP when you were holding it in the closet clean out video. š Looks great on you. I just love your videos! The budgeting, the scenery, the pets, your realness. Love it all.
As far as your grocery budget goes, if youāre not spending money frivolously or on things you donāt need, it is what it is. You probably need to increase that to a more realistic amount and the same with coffee shops. A budget is not meant to be a punishment and neither one of these things are anywhere near the level of some of the spending you were doing before. Yes, coffee is not what I would consider a āneedā but in your case it seems that it is and thatās OK. I know from previous videos youāve taken steps to lower this cost but sometimes youāre out somewhere or have a circumstance where dipping into this category is what you want to do.
Great breakdown. I can't remember you mentioning, in your previous videos, why you stopped using WYNAB. Could you share that with us?
Hi from switzerland. I love what you do and you're a greate inspiration to keep going š However I do have 1 big question. Is the taxes on your income already erased? In switzerland we have to pay a tax bill every year, means basically the monthly salery is including taxes. So what I started doing every month is already paying about 10/15% of my salery to taxes. This way I don't have a huge bill end of the year and I feel it's way more easy going. Would love to know how it works with income taxes in the US.
I am not comfortable linking any of my bank accounts or investment accounts. Thatās why I donāt use any budgeting app. I am sure it is a great app. Thanks for sharing.
Helpful video, thank you! I'm a mom who manages all the household finances and has a small baking business and might start working part time and I hate YNAB! It's so cumbersome to use and so involved! So I'm thinking of switching to Quicken Simplifi and again, this video was very helpful. Question for you: I'm guessing you would recommend looking at your budget every day? Just to make sure you're staying within your budget, correct? YNAB was really hard for me to stay on top of but Quicken looks easier to manage.
I love your previous background --- I can't stop looking at the lamps instead of focusing on you.
Your hair looks really pretty in this video. I am still a big fan of a side part š
Love the overview of this app, I havenāt heard of it before you mentioned it in a previous video!
This is a step in my budgeting journey Iāve been avoiding, I use a great spreadsheet, but Iāve been scared of the additional accountability of an app like this. This took the fear out. Iām ready to level up, thank you!
This was so very helpful! Thank you for the details and running through all the app parts!
Looks like an intuitive app, thanks for the breakdown. I use my own google sheets but like to look at apps for ideas. And your dogs are so cute!
Superb video thank you!! Q: do you know if/when Simplifi will support Apple Card breakdown transactions (Monarch supports this) as well as possibly Amazon breakdown transactions (CoPilot does). Cheers! Michael Amir
Seeing Nantucket on your transactions makes me want to go back. Last summer I stayed for a week at the Westmoor club and had such a good timeš!
Thank you for being you, Elle. I stumbled upon your channel today and am very glad I did š¦šŗ xo
YNAB is never glitchy for me. Interesting that that is your experience. Those double pending transactions would drive me bonkers. But good job on spending less than you make! Who cares what app you use, as long as you are seeing some change in a positive direction.
I use a Google Sheets spreadsheet that I got from Etsy and only use it to track my transactions (I donāt make put budget amounts, just actuals), but I like the look of this app! Thanks for sharing, I might try it out. I just found your channel this week and have really been enjoying your videos! āŗļø
A lot of times the ādoubleā charge is triggered by the initial āauthorizationā and then another hits when it actually is processed by the bank. It has happened to me in my actual banking app.
