Just Millennial Things: bills, necessities and quality of life

Harvest groups every bill together, with due dates written into category names, then separates daily necessities from quality-of-life spending. Savings goals like a vacation fund, RRSP and TFSA sit in their own group.

  • 4 groups
  • 3 categories
  • 21 subcategories
  • Simple (under 40)
  • Solo / single

In their words

This is a simple but comprehensive system that works especially well with rules and the budget features so that all your categories and subcategories are neatly tracked every month. It has everything from grouping all your bills together, to being able to track how much you spend on daily necessities vs. quality of life purchases, as well as your future savings goals.
