Are you new to budgeting and not sure what to expect? We’re here to enlighten you with the help of the best source of all—current budgeters who use EveryDollar to create and manage their budgets each month.
Below you’ll see how budgeting has changed everything for them!
Watch Daniel and Rachel get a complete EveryDollar budget makeover! They got on the same page with money and found $1,500 in their budget to throw toward debt. Find out how!
Start your own budget makeover by creating an EveryDollar budget today!
Before they started using EveryDollar, Rachel and Shawn G. didn’t really budget. They sort of planned what they were going to spend for the month, but they didn’t stick to it. And they definitely didn’t pay more than the minimum on their $26,000 worth of car debt.
All that changed when this Charleston, West Virginia, couple discovered the free budget app. For the first time, they began planning and tracking their spending together. And they soon realized how much money they were wasting each month.
They found enough “extra” cash to bump up their debt payment from $670 to $1,400 a month! That’s more than double their original payment! And after 14 months of hard work and smart spending, they are now completely debt-free (and heading to Disney World with cash in their pockets!).
Jessica I. from Seattle was able to trim $600 from her budget each month using EveryDollar—and it was all coming from groceries!
“We spent so much on groceries without even realizing it. So when we first started with EveryDollar, I plugged in what we had spent on everything the previous month to see how much we actually spent on groceries. We were spending $600 more than we do now! All because we got on a plan and became more intentional.”
Making an EveryDollar budget helps Jody S. and her husband, Stephen, breathe easier. Like, $700-a-month easier.
That’s how much money they figured out they were overspending when they signed up in January and saw the numbers.
“We didn’t realize how much we spent on eating out and grocery trips,” Jody says. She adds they would spend $100 a month on little trips to Target and Walmart.
“We weren’t telling our money where to go, so we were just spending it! I remember looking back, saying ‘What did we buy this month? Where did it all go? We have no money!’” she says.
