Pam Mowinkel's Comment: Thank you for sharing this site. I teach a class for junior and senior high school students that addresses budgeting. Is the site actually FREE? (I tried to explore the site and think I found a statement that said free - but I was wondering about "hidden" costs.) WOW! This powerful budget tool is available on the web from a computer or a cell phone
This site looks very easy to use, especially for students learning how to budget their money. I could see a high school money management class using this website to simulate real-life expenses while completing a problem-based curriculum. Or, how would it be to give seniors in high school a year of expenses for the typical college freshman to manage?
As Pam said, as long as there are no "hidden" costs this could be a powerful tool to use in the classroom.
This looks good! I teach senior government and have been thinking about how to include some money management to help prepare these students for life on their own. This could be a really enticing program for them...especially since they can access it from their phones. They might "buy" into it more fully with that option. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks for your budget tracker suggestion. I found it very useful. I think that more people can use this sort of thing, especially with the reminders.
