Keeping track of your finances is step one in taking back control of your life
As someone who was desperately trying to get his finances on track, I found most budgeting apps either locked behind subscriptions or too complicated. I enjoy living frugally and didn’t want to pay for something just to know where my money was going.
So I came up with a way. I built a simple Apple Numbers spreadsheet that helps me track daily expenses, get a clear view of my cash flow, net worth, and even credit card balances. Its a simple straightforward layout that easy to follow.
