This! I am happy to pay my Monarch annual subscription fee. It's helped us so much to see what we are *really* spending, can't hide from that cash flow chart!

Also obsessed with this. So helpful. And kind of addicting.

@hulkbrogan

very addicting! i used to completely avoid looking at my money, which led to me developing the worst of my habits. now i'm on the complete other end of the spectrum which... probably has some downsides, but at least i'm not spending money i don't have anymore lol.

Ohhhhhh ok, this is a strong rec. I guess the algorithm has heard me waffling. Glancing guiltily at my out of date YNAB account, hearing monarch sponsorships on The Financial Diet (content I appreciate that is not very sponsorship friendly)

Ooh! I need this. Is there a code, rather than a link? I signed up but am being asked for a code

@hulkbrogan

I don't have my own code, just the link, but the code TFD50 works for 50% off

Monarch was among the first of my RL Recs — I love it so. I still have a ways to go to achieve power user status, but I love hearing your multi-generational success stories! Thx for the inspo!

I’ve been so curious but I get overwhelmed thinking about all I likely have to input in to the system. Recommended to me by a CPA…am I making too much of the process of organizing this/setting it up?

The initial setup CAN be a bit tedious, especially if you have several individual credit cards. But if most of your money is in a handful of places (i.e. checking, savings, and credit card at the same bank) it's way easier. The most annoying part is literally just logging into your accounts. It is incredibly user friendly in my opinion. If you're curious about it and just want to see what the software looks like and whether it's a good fit for you, you could do a free trial and cancel before you get charged?

“Love a good dashboard. In fact, I am somewhat dashboard-obsessed at the moment. I need one-stop-shops to look at the categories of my life and contain the chaos in my head. This platform is my money-category, chaos-crushing dashboard. I should add it's dummy-proof. If I can get it to work for me, certainly you will be able to get it to work for you. The UX is very intuitive. During tax season, I g”

“I have always avoided everything relating to a budget, but I FINALLY sat down and did it with this app. You guys, I cancelled THOUSANDS of annual dollars in recurring subscriptions (this is very embarrassing to admit, but I cancelled $9,610 in lifestyle creep dollars). I'm honestly feeling so accomplished! Here's a link that will give you 50% off your first year if you want to try it.”
