How to Make Your Plan

Dave recommends making a zero-based budget. So, what’s that mean? It’s when your income minus your outgo (all your monthly savings, bills, payments and investments) equals zero. Don’t let this task overwhelm you. There’s actually an easy-to-use app for it!

EveryDollar is a free budget app that makes creating your budget fast and convenient by tallying up the numbers for you. No math required!
