Best Budgeting software
Hi everyone. Was just curious what do you guys like to use for a mostly automated budget software for your personal finances? Currently looking into intuit mint.

Mint is pretty good, that's what several of our clients use. EveryDollar isn't too bad either.

I've used mint off and on for years. It gets the job done.

Mint is free and simple to use. Their app does the trick as well.
I like it and it helps us stay on track and on target.
We use RightCapital on an enterprise level and push it out to clients for tax/business/financial planning. It is terrific all around.
Mint is great. Many of my clients like to use YNAB (you need a budget) as well. YNAB is in my opinion more advanced because it introduces a much more forward-thinking strategy that is quite a bit different not just in its implementation, but also in the user’s whole way of thinking. It basically encourages you to give "every dollar a job".

If you plan to include any rentals in your budget you need to upgrade from mint to quicken. It’s $50/yr if you want automatic bank transaction entries.
The reason I couldn’t use any of the more basic/free programs is I wanted to track expenses per property and per reason. I couldn’t get sub’ sub categories.
Property 1 expense/repairs/plumbing
Property 2 expense/services/landscaping
Etc etc. I wanted to be able to tell what I was spending per year on any property or any type of expense per property or in total. It pays for itself in CPA billed time saved with those reports per property by category.
I use Empower. The interface is clean and easy to use on the desktop as well as the phone app. Its free and quite easy to use.
You can set your budget and categorizes it between items such as gas, groceries, utilities, and business expense and can put tags like "reimbursable" which will actually subtract it from your monthly budget and won't count it.
It links all your bank, credit cards, and financial transactions to see as they are updated. You can also link stocks and will update your net worth as well.
