How proactive is the Seedly community in budgeting and tracking daily expenses?

Do you track every single expense religiously? Or do you take a more hands-off approach to budgeting, including only major expenses like housing and car instalments (which is what my parent does)?

Also, how do you generally budget for various expenses like food and transportation? How do I know how much I really need for each category each month?

Do provide your rough background and a brief rationale for your budget/choices!

For me i use planner bee to set and track my budgets, think it’s a rly good budgeting app because i love that they tell me how much more i can spend on a particular category per day based on my set budget :) at the end of every month i take a look at my expenses,’and see if i have any extra unnecessary purchases i can cut back on for future months!!

I’m a uni student doing my internship and my expenses are mostly transport, food and other misc expenses.

I’ve managed to be quite consistent with tracking my budgets and expenses while using the app Planner Bee! I just set the budget for each category and let it recur every month. I also link my bank account to the app so any expense is automatically tracked which makes it so much easier and convenient for me. It’s really v helpful in making me more mindful of how much i'm spending to better plan my personal finances.

I do. There are various apps which you can use to monitor. Once you are 80% close to hitting your threshold, they will alert u haha.

I will use my own excel sheet to keep track of ins and outs. I am more suprised that there are more people doing this than I thought.

I track every expenses using excel. I didn't allocate specific budget for each category but I review...
