Stupid Simple Budget is a web application I created for my wife and me to manage our finances effectively without the complexity or cost of commercial budgeting tools. This platform allows us to track our various financial accounts and reach our financial goals with ease.

🌟 Key Features

• Multi-Account Tracking: Monitor different financial accounts including 401ks, stocks, savings, allowances, and budgets.
• Automatic Calculations: Transactions are automatically subtracted from the total amount in each account.
• Automated Paycheck Distribution: A cron job automatically adds paychecks and distributes funds to allowances and budgets.
• User-Friendly Interface: Simple and intuitive design for stress-free financial management.
• Cost-Free Solution: Developed as a personal tool, eliminating the need for paid budgeting services.

💡 Why Stupid Simple Budget?

Managing finances can often feel overwhelming, especially with complex budgeting tools. Stupid Simple Budget streamlines this process, allowing us to focus on our financial goals without getting lost in unnecessary features. It’s more than just an app - it’s a practical solution tailored to our specific needs.
