YNAB: http://www.youneedabudget.com/

• This is the app that our staff uses personally to budget and is what we prefer to use with clients.

• This app is browser based and downloadable for mobile devices.

• YNAB offers great resources and blogs on budgeting and how to use their application

• YNAB offers a 34 free day trial, plus a year free for students. We like to say it will save you so much money it is worth the small annual fee. 

MINT:  https://www.mint.com/

• While we do not promote Mint as near as much as we do YNAB, we still think it is a super tool and in some cases works better for certain clients. 

• Mint does an excellent job of helping you keep track of when bills are due and what the balances are on any lines of credit that you may have. 

• Mint is free.
