How to use Budget Mate
The easy household budgeting tool
Are you fed up with your household income being swallowed up by bills every month? We know how that feels.
We developed Budget Mate because we’d lost control of our finances. Our debt kept growing and every time we spent money, our stress grew too.
Budget Mate is an easy household budgeting tool that helps you pay off your debt and start saving.
We trialled it over 4 years and shared it with some of our friends. It worked so well for all of us, we want to share it with you too.
How does Budget Mate work?
Like all budgets, you need to prepare your list of bills and outgoings–prioritise your essential items like mortgage, rent, food and utilities.
Create your Budget Mate account with a secure user name and password.
Enter your list of bills and outgoings to create a Budget Mate expense account for each one–your budget plan is complete.
Input your bank account and credit card balances, and your credit limit.
Enter your income and watch as the program disperses it across all your expenses at the push of a button.
All you need now is a few minutes each day to update your income or outgoings.
