How do you track your personal budget? (lemmy.ml)

Do you track your expenses monthly? Annually? Do you have an app or do you use an excel spreadsheet? Any suggested tools?

I use a spreadsheet and track monthly.

If you are using YNAB, a fun trick is to use a split transaction that contains the total amount as an outflow and then the inflow you would receive from your partner to make the math easy. For example:

Split transaction: -100$ - total bill outflow +50$ - partner's portion

YNAB transaction that will apply to the category is 50$.
