I am always curious to know how people out there manage their personal finances. Do you use an excel? Do you track transactions or just networth? Do you budget?

@philipsnyder What's your favorite feature of Monarch Money?
@erskingardner Wide support for investment tracking (links to all brokers + crypto). I also requested a feature for reoccurring subscriptions a few months ago and it actually came out a few weeks ago, was very happy. I can see all my subscription payments and what days they get charged.

@philipsnyder Thanks – that's super helpful. On the crypto side, do they track anything other than Coinbase?
@erskingardner Unfortunately they're just using plaid so it doesn't really plug into defi. A possible feature improvement would be a plug in into the DeBank API (debank.com)
I use rocket money (tracks transactions), credit karma (tracks credit), every dollar (0 based budgeting app), and sometimes a good ol spreadsheet for planning large expenditures.
@robert_sutton1 thank you for you input!

@robert_sutton1 So many tools! 😮💨
@erskingardner yeah agreed some of them do the same thing
I use the Expense Manager app to track the transactions and categorize them to see how much I spend on something
