How do you track your personal budget? - eviltoast

Do you track your expenses monthly? Annually? Do you have an app or do you use an excel spreadsheet? Any suggested tools?

I use a spreadsheet and track monthly.

    Thank you, that looks awesome!

    Do your institutions send alerts with data in a consumable format? I’m in Canada, land of the shitty bank software and it seems I can only get PDFs from most places. I have one that doesn’t even let you download transactions outside of the monthly statement :(

      I mean, for a given level of consumable. You can see in the TransactionFetcher.Readers.* libraries how I’m parsing the data out of HTML emails, which is less than optimal, but it works, at least until they change email formats and I have to make changes.

      Your neighbors to the south also have shitty bank software, unfortunately.
