I use my income from the previous month on mine. For example, January's paychecks= February's budget.

Can I set my budget in Everydollar for a bi-weekly payment? I get paid twice a month but it seems to be set for just monthly and I'm more comfortable with doing it bi-weekly along with monthly.

How do I add a second user so they can see the same budget on the app?

Bank of America offers features for budgeting and you can link accounts similar to mint. Although the user interface is a little antiquated, it still does the job and it’s free if you already bank with them.

I’m confused on savings and sinking funds. I’m supposed to take the money out of checking and move it to the designated account right?

ive got the app downloaded to my phone. How do i get it on pc? And I've gotten pro version.

I get paid on the 15th and the 30th of each month, so it doesn't make sense to include paycheck #2 on my monthly budget as it will be used towards the following month. Am I lost here? Help!!

Hi, I live in Europe, following your advice, is it okay to use every dollar for me too?
The euro is worth about the same as the dollar, thanks for a reply👍

The app isn't available in the UK 😢

Why is this not available in canada???

So what about the money that's currently in your account. Say you start tracking your monthly income while having say, $60 currently in your account, you make $500/w how would you show that on the app. Not just what you make weekly

I don't see how to add sinking fund items. Sorry if it's obvious. Thank you for any help.
