Use a combination of Excel to establish monthly cash flows, ie. Income and reoccurring expenses. Personal Capital for tracking across accounts and quick NW calcs.

For day to day spending and tracking, I use BUDGT. Simple and clean… perfect for zero sum budgeting. Highly recommend

I use excel and review it monthly so I know where am I and what would be my budget. I also use my brain, a little discipline and a common sense.

I was once at a dinner with a second year analyst, consultant, and partner, and the analyst said he planned on retiring by 30 and the partner and consultant laughed. Little did they know, the analyst owned his own home and rented all the rooms out so he payed no rent, never ate out, only grocery shopped, and very very rarely bought anything new. He saved most of his income, and was perfectly content with just his video games. That man was serious about not being stuck working forever.
