Monthly budget

Set what you plan to spend in each category this month. Leave anything you don't use at $0. Toggle Roll on to carry unused money into next month (great for savings).

School costs

Track big, irregular college bills separately from everyday spending — so tuition or housing money never looks like spending money. Record what's planned, what you've paid, and what's covered by aid, scholarships, family, or benefits.
