My fitness tracker keeps congratulating me on reaching my daily step goal. Little does it know, I just walked from the couch to the fridge and back.

Budgeting App Battle Royale: Free vs. Paid - Which One Wins Your Wallet?

Hey Tumblr Fam!

So, you're trying to adult, huh? 🤪 That means figuring out this whole money thing, which can be, like, totally overwhelming. One question I see popping up all the time is: should I use a free or paid budgeting app?

It's a tough decision, and honestly, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. But don't worry, I'm here to break it down for you in a way that's, like, actually understandable. 😉

The Temptation of "Free" (aka, The Budget-Friendly Option):

Let's be real, the word "free" is like a magnet for us young adults. Who doesn't love getting something for nothing? Free budgeting apps can be a great way to dip your toes into the world of money management without spending any cash. They usually offer basic features like:

Expense tracking (so you can see where all your money is going 💸)

Budget creation (to help you stay on track 🛤️)

Goal setting (because dreams are important ✨)

But...There's Always a Catch (aka, The Dark Side of "Free"):

Unfortunately, free budgeting apps often come with some limitations. You might have to deal with:

Annoying ads (ugh, so distracting 🙄)

Limited features (missing out on the good stuff 😭)

Sketchy data privacy practices (yikes! 😬)

The Allure of "Paid" (aka, The Premium Experience):

Paid budgeting apps offer a more robust and comprehensive budgeting experience. You usually get:

No ads (yay! 🙌)

Advanced features (like investment tracking and custom reporting 📊)

Better customer support (because sometimes you just need help 🤷‍♀️)

Peace of mind (knowing your data is safe and secure ✅)

But...It Costs Money (aka, The Harsh Reality):

Of course, the downside is that paid budgeting apps cost money. And for young adults on a tight budget, that can be a dealbreaker. 💔

So, Which One Should You Choose? (aka, The Million-Dollar Question):

Here's the tea: it all depends on your individual needs and priorities. Ask yourself:

What are my financial goals?

What features do I really need?

How much am I willing to spend?

Do I value privacy and security?

The Bottom Line:

There's no right or wrong answer when it comes to free vs paid budgeting apps. The key is to do your research, weigh the pros and cons, and choose the option that best fits your needs and budget. And remember, the most important thing is to actually use the app! 😉

Still can't decide? Head over to my comprehensive guide to free vs paid budgeting apps for even more insights and recommendations!

Ever notice how houses in Texas seem to shift every time it rains? 🤔 The soil here has a mind of its own, and it got me thinking—how many of us just ignore those small cracks in the walls like they’ll magically disappear? 👀

Not gonna lie, I used to shrug it off too… until that door just wouldn’t close anymore. Turns out, ignoring foundation issues only makes things worse. If you’re in Texas, places like HD Foundation Repair can help you figure out if it’s time to act. Better safe than sorry, right?”

Feels Soup in the Internet Void

Anyone else ever feel like their heart is a bubbling cauldron of conflicting feelings? Like, right now, I'm overflowing with this fierce, beautiful love for someone/something (you fill in the blank, void fam) but at the same time, my stupid brain is throwing a full-on anxiety rave about what the future holds.

It's like I want to take a leap of faith, grab hold of this love with both hands, and scream it from the rooftops. But then this paralyzing fear creeps in, whispering all these "what ifs" and "but whys" until I just want to crawl back into my hermit crab shell and disappear. Ugh, adulting is hard.

Maybe it's just me, but sometimes I miss the blissful ignorance of, well, not existing. Anyone else ever feel like they just need a giant "do-over" button for life?

Anyway, just venting into the internet abyss. Here's to hoping this love is strong enough to drown out the fear, and maybe, just maybe, I can build the courage to take that leap.

so do we all feel like we are growing and adulting and so we need to figure out our future and we feel weird in our own skin as if its not fitting us right from head to toe, or are you ppl normal?

My inner voice is giving me great advice. Unfortunately, my outer voice is like, 'Yeah, but have you considered pizza?'

We made it there and back again! Arrived home on the night of 12/5.

Ugh the way back was "eventful" and not in a good way. But overall, I'm just happy we all made it back safe and sound.

We left Sunday again. First stop in ABQ at the same hotel we stayed at. It was funny cause Nugget remembered the first room we stayed in and kept stopping at that door lol.

Second stop was in Wichita, new place this time. On the way, with only 90 minutes to go, we stopped for gas and bathroom breaks. and i hit a freaking divider pole. UGH and damaged the rental car door. Oops. I haven't damaged in a car in like 15+ years and of course now i do. in all fairness to me, the pump spot was abnormally long and i'm not used to driving such a huge car. didn't even see it!

Then, after we get going the next day... with our next stop as home.... i get my VERY FIRST SPEEDING TICKET OF MY LIFE in Kansas. Ugh. LOL. The cop was nice. But i think i got caught in a trap lol. there was a plane circling round. i was doing 80 in a 70 zone which in reality isn't even that gross of a speeding overage right? but i really thought it was 75. the cop said it had changed like a mile or 2 before he had pulled me over. i think it was cause i had colorado plates. but my coworker said that Kansas was the worst state to drive through, so i'm guessing they are in general tough!

so yeah, damaged the car and got a speeding ticket lol. then of course after that i didn't go more than 3 miles over the speed limit the rest of the way home lol.

but we're back. man the house was SO DUSTY it felt hard to breathe. it's weird what we were so used to! i ordered a different kind of kitty litter for my next amazon delivery.

oh, i didn't mention what happened since my last entry.

Nugget got a hold of Noodle! she's alive and has 13 staples. no deep punctures, it was really just skin damage :( and she was limping on her leg. 418 +50 + her next visit vet costs.... i'm just so happy she's ok and that i insisted on taking her in. if she died i would have felt like i could never show my face over there ever again!

there was a toilet incident! i guess leo didn't notice that the last time she was over she used the toilet and it kept running.... so i got a water text alert saying that we had used like 3300 gallons in the last 24 hours and there was a possible leak. FREAKED OUT! luckily leo was going by the house that day i got the text anyways and she went there and found the issue. no biggie and i don't think it will actually affect my bill much.

anyways, my car insurance and the rental agency are working on the claim now. may have to pay my 1000 deductible instead of the 350 bucks insurance i think they were offering me lol.

and now a 150 speeding ticket.

this trip was a bit expensive lol. but being there for thanksgiving and to celebrate my mom's birthday was worth it i think :)

now i'm still thinking - do i want to move to AZ? kind of...

and i think it's also time to really really find a new job...

It's Wednesday, which means we've climbed the hill of the week, but there's still a rollercoaster ride ahead. Hang in there everyone!

Some days, I struggle to exist. I just…am. Even the smallest task feels like it requires the energy to move a mountain. I can’t seem to - I don’t have the “want” or the energy to do anything. I can’t even find joy or motivation in activities that I typically enjoy. They just seem like too big of a chore… I hate these days. Most people won’t understand. They chalk it up to “being lazy” or simply advise me to “snap out of it.” They may not see it, but it’s like an enormous invisible weight that periodically drags my life to a halt. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #depressionisreal #bipolardepression #adhdawareness #adultingishard https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVuBMvLcfw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
