budgeting apps

Those looking for a better way to keep track of their finances should
consider a budgeting app. There are dozens of them on the market now, and one
of our favorites is running a discount for new subscribers. Monarch Money is
offering 50 percent off annual plans right now when you use the code
MONARCHVIP at checkout. With the typical yearly price being $100, this will
save you $50.

As mentioned before, the discount is only for new users and it can't be
combined with other offers. The code only works when you sign up through the
web as well. You can't redeem it through the Monarch mobile app.

We feel that Monarch has a steeper learning curve than some other budget
trackers and that certain aspects of the app are slightly more complex than
they probably need to be. But it offers a great deal of customization and
granularity, which outweighs our misgivings.

On the main dashboard, you'll see your net worth along with your latest
transactions, spending versus the previous month, your income so far for the
month and details about upcoming bills, your investments and goals you've
set. There's also a link to a month-in-review page, which offers an in-depth
overview of what's been happening with your money that month. You'll also be
able to take a peek at how your net worth has changed over time.

Monarch can connect to your bank and track Apple Card, Apple Cash and Savings
accounts. It can pull in your transactions and balance history automatically
and detect your recurring expenses and income. The app can even keep your car
valuation up to date. While it might take a little work to set up Monarch
(and you might have to tweak things here and there), it's a detailed
budgeting app that can help you keep better track of your income, expenditure
and net worth.
