I have an addiction to trying out budgeting apps the moment I find a new one. It's like the search for the Holy Grail or something. I know that an app by itself isn't going to magically make budgeting a success, instead I see these them as sort of a financial sidekick, something that helps me out get out of my own way just enough so we can save the day (literally ).

The description is accurate. Putz is the simplest of budget trackers. Categories / Expenses and a progress bar. Nice. Fun to play with but won't unseat my current toolset.

What's your current toolset?

Combination spreadsheet and YNAB.

> Combination spreadsheet

I'm curious about that, never heard of it. Can you elaborate or if you have a spreadsheet to share, my address is [e-mail] (yes, I'm working on a household budget app)

How do you measure "success" in your budgeting? Is it a short-term monthly basis or a longer one?
