Sep 12, 2007 -- Free budgeting tools online!

People often contact Clark asking about good free budgeting tools online. Clark recently discovered one free site that he really likes called Wesabe.com. If you're curious about that name, it apparently derives from saber, the Spanish word for "to know." So the name is a Spanglish-ism that roughly translates to "we know." Wesabe.com offers you the opportunity to assess your finances and make sure you're on the right track. It's a community-based site, so that means you'll find users of the site helping each other. Clark wants people to know that there's no one right way to save for the future. Some people like the envelope system, while other use the pay-yourself-first method. Wesabe.com is just another tool in the toolbox that you might be able to put to work. Another site Clark likes is FinancialEngines.com, which can help you plan your retirement. It uses the Monte Carlo analysis method, and tries to prepare you to meet your financial goals even when factoring in the odds of a market crash.

Unfortunately, Clark won't be able to answer any questions submitted via commenting. If you have a question, please try posting it to our message boards.

What others are saying

  • Free online budgeting resource
    A friend told me about this little free budgeting website gem which I used for about 6 month now and find it too good to be free. Totally anonymous, no exposure to bank accounts, easy to use as child-play, budgeting and expense tracking on the same page, transactional accounting too, tons of helpful context online guidance and all free of charge and advertising too.

    It's on the web at:

    Happy budgeting
  • Proactive Budgeting Tool
    Do yourselves a favor and learn how to budget your money forward (instead of looking back at how your money WAS spent). This is rated #1 on Amazon: www.ynab.com My deposits have increase over 140% in the 4 months I've been using the program.

    Do other states have similar programs, and if so how may I find one?
