Our most requested feature has arrived!

We’ve all heard we should budget for monthly expenses. And yes, budgeting is one of the leading predictors of whether or not someone is “financially healthy”. But let’s face it – it’s boring.
With Simple Expenses, you can now automate the busy work of staying on top of your recurring bills. Think rent, groceries, the water bill. After the first set-up, money for your budgets and bills is automatically tucked away for you, so you can spend with confidence, knowing your must-haves are covered. And you can start saving for your actual Goals (hello, Argentina).
Here’s what’s cool about Expenses
Today’s paycheck is for tomorrow’s Expenses
Financial confidence stems from knowing you’re covered for your most important costs. Each dollar tucked into Expenses is meant for your upcoming bill or budget, whether that’s next month’s rent or next week’s grocery budget. This practice of getting ahead comes highly recommended. But we know … It can definitely be a challenge to get into this pattern. Expenses are designed to help nudge you in the right direction though.
Give your money meaning
Payday feels better when your money has a purpose. With Simple’s Expenses, money is tucked away into labeled buckets, the moment you get paid. No more gut feelings or guessing games. You can wake up knowing your money is exactly where it should be.
A budget should be followed, not managed
Everyone deserves a balanced budget. Expenses is designed to automate the monotony of recreating your budget each month. When the manual work of maintaining a budget goes away, you get more time in your day to focus on the fun stuff.
Three steps to get started with Expenses
Add your Expenses Toss in any regular bill that you pay.
Set up a Funding Schedule Expenses works best with regular funding. Make sure your paycheck is deposited into Simple.
Move your bills An easy step to miss, but make sure your bills are set to debit your Simple account. If the biller only accepts account numbers, you can find your numbers here.
