A friend told me recently about a free online personal budgeting utility, I have used it for over two month now and it is too good to be free. "Out Of The Dark" (OOTD) is easy to use, simple yet powerful, an online personal budgeter that is totally anonymous so your personal identity is never compromised, and it's packed full of good guidance and information from the developer and the community of users. OOTD can be found at: http://www.myexp.org/OOTD_gate.php Happy budgeting.

8-31-2017 Some people talk like a budget is some sort of dark magic, but it's only simple arithmetic. Take a paper and write the date of your next payday. Start a second column and write the amount of income at that time. Under that, write your predicted expenses such as rent and utilities. Some expenses have to be saved up, and some have to be divided and paid in parts. That is what you are deciding as you go along. And that is how you make a budget.
