What people are saying about Budget:

"Just wanted to tell you folks how much I enjoy using the program Budget. I'm a self employed professional musician and find Budget to be a fantastic tool in keeping my finances on track."
- Toby Walker

"I just have to write to let you know how much this program rocks! I finally have control of my finances! I'm not overdrawing my account anymore because I couldn't easily tell how much to leave in there for upcoming expenses, and I now always know how much I can spend on things. I also can tell when to pay each bill because I can see when I have enough for it in its "envelope". It makes it so I actually LIKE balancing my checkbook. I haven't balanced my checkbook in many, many years. Now I do it every week. Thanks for a great piece of software."
- David J. Weiner

"I just want to say THANK YOU for making Budget for Mac OS X and for making Budget at all. I have been using this program since November of 2006 and it is FANTASTIC. Using this program has made my financial management so much easier and less stressful. It is awesome! The envelope method is far superior to the Quicken methods in use today. I also love the way Budget allows me to manage separate accounts in a multi-document format (one document per account). This makes it easier to synchronize my Budget files (data) via iDisk so I can use it on my laptop when away or desktop when home and also makes it easy to manage my bills bank account separate from my personal bank account. Anway, this program is awesome and I love the way it works. Thanks again for the great work.."
