Dave Ramsey has finally released his FREE budgeting software.

It is called EveryDollar! and is also available as an app.

So far I have found it to be very good. Easy to navigate, simple to understand and it does all that you want from a budget software. It also keeps a running tab of where you are with the Baby Steps.

Has anyone else tried out the software?? What do you think? :D

    Shame its not on Playstore. I would be interested in a free budgeting app as I don't have a desktop to enable me to use YNAB. Android users have lucked out here.

    Bummer Meatloaf - is there no free budgeting app for android?
    I have an android phone but don't use the internet (at all) so have never tried to get a budgeting app.
    I tried the free month download of YNAB and wasn't that impressed which surprised me. :undecided

    :shhh: Just for the US.....? ;)

    Excel or the OpenOffice 1 is fine for budgeting.

    Does it have a 'WWJD' feature?

    I find his constant references to the bible somewhat off putting.

    I also find it amusing that he clearly wants to say 'give every dollar a job' whenever he talks about budgeting but can't as he definitely does not want to endorse YNAB.

    Nothing wrong with what he is saying but his style isn't for me.

    Especially when he also says the only three cards he has in his wallet are his personal debit card, his business debit card and his gun license! :eek:
