The Tools
The 4 Bite Budget tools will help you set up a budget and manage your money flow to various accounts so you will be in control. Yes, you will need to spend some time laying out a budget and opening a couple extra checking accounts, but you won’t have to keep syncing accounts or track every transaction for the rest of your life without ever making a mistake!
The ultimate value of 4 Bite Budget tools are the way they help you manage your money into categories of Income, Bills, Savings and Spending instead of trying to reconcile the tracking, transactions and syncing of every credit and expenditure. By managing money instead of transactions, your bills are paid, savings are set aside, and you are free to spend what is in your spending account! Nothing to track—just keep it between the lines!
