Budgety

Budgety is a tool that helps you control your expenses in order to maintain your desired monthly savings, by spending less. It is also an experiment to test human psychology by displaying the remaining daily budget.

Example budget

From the example above, you start with your fixed monthly income and then subtract the recurring expenses. From what remains (i.e. 2000 - 600 = 1400) you subtract the desired amount you plan on saving. That leaves with you the monthly budget for the rest of your general expenses (groceries, transportation, etc).

From the monthly budget we can derive a daily budget.

daily budget

The above formula is the core of the app. By showing the user the remaining daily budget can we influence him on spending less?

Built With

  • React native
  • Redux

FAQ

Q. There are billions of money tracking apps, why another one?

A. This app is mostly an experiment on human psychology. By showing you a daily budget that sometimes goes red, it forces you into spend less thus saving more.

Q. What if I dont spend anything in one day?

A. The daily budget will be spread amongst the remaing days.

Q. If I receive a money gift do I have to take it into account?

A. No. we only care about expenses and maintaining a positive daily budget.
