Just realized my $6 notebook from the drugstore beats every budgeting app I tried
Sat next to a woman named Dana at a coffee shop on Elm Street last Tuesday. She noticed me tapping my phone screen and sighing at my budget app. She pulled a beat up spiral notebook out of her bag and showed me her system. Every Monday she writes down her bills in pen, then marks each one with a check when it clears. She said she has done this for 11 months and has not missed a single due date. I started the same thing 3 weeks ago with a $6 notebook and I already see where my money leaks out. Has anyone else gone back to paper after trying apps?
