  • Budgeting as a Married Couple

    Does anyone know of any good budgeting software for MAC users?

    Now that Mr. Apple and I are hitched, we’re really trying to budget as a married couple. Budgeting was easier when I was single since I knew what I was bringing in and what items I was spending on. But now that we’re married, everything doubles up – the food expense, the traveling expense, the income (yeah!). We have our own separate accounts, we also have a joint account, a shared credit card, our personal debt, and future investments.  Though we think we have a good handle on our current financial situation, it wouldn’t hurt to narrow it down to exact figures.  Every penny does count!

    Anyone have any good suggestions on software for MACs and Windows?

    I think this would be great information for those brides who are still in the engagement stage. You can get started now and it would be an easier transition when you do get married.
