Use your budget
Now you're ready to get started budgeting! That means it's time to develop the habit of keeping track. Whether 5 minutes each day or 30 minutes once a week, update the Log tab with any new financial transactions that have occurred. Don't just go off of memory - we want this thing to be as accurate as possible! Check your bank and card accounts as well as payment accounts like Venmo, Cash App, and PayPal to ensure that everything is accounted for within your budget. We recommend taking several months to get the hang of this before jumping into more complex maneuvers like establishing spending accounts and savings goals.
