<prompt> Human: Hey PF,The overwhelming majority of PF commentsreplies can be boiled down to make a budget, stick to it. While very sage advice, for the life of us, my wife and I find executing this much easier said than done. We can create a budget, and strictly adhere and monitor it for about 3-4 weeks if we are lucky and our resolve is strong. We both have attentionconcentration issues and so we can make do awesome when we focus, but maintaining that level of awareness of our finances seems completely beyond us for some reason.We both feel like part of the problem is visibility - if there was some kinda tooling or apps that send a daily summary emailtext etc, or add a dashboard to our phonesgoogle etc. that is constantly shoving our financial status down our throats, that would be fcking amazing.This has been very frustrating because our income situation is fantastic any undecided career majors out there, if you enjoy CS, I went from knowing nothing to 120Kyr salary in 6 years!, but we still cannot seem to get rid of our credit card debt and take the type of vacations we want to.tl;dr - If anyone out there has eithera advice on how to actually stick to a budget, orb any good suggestions for tools andor apps with push style finance monitoringthat would be tremendously appreciated!Thanks,Whitepeopleforkimchi  <response>: Check out You Need A Budget YNAB rynab In all honesty its a glorified spreadsheet, but what I like about it is the phone app which allows me to track my spending in real time. The budget will sync through dropbox so both of you can see updates from the other on the fly. The app itself will give a nice overview of your budget, total on-hand cash, but lacks the nice graphscharts which are only available on the desktop client. Again, this could probably be accomplished with Excel or Google Docs, but I would grab the free trial and see if the 60.00 or 14.99 if you can hit it on a Steam sale is worth it.
