Do you track your expenses monthly? Annually? Do you have an app or do you use an excel spreadsheet? Any suggested tools?

I use a spreadsheet and track monthly.

I had tried a few paid services. I am a business major though and have alot of experience with Excel. I was able to make a expenses tracker in there and now I just enter transactions a few times a week. Helps alot to have a easier way to view what is coming in and what is going out. As well as where the majority of my money is going to. You can YouTube how to make a spreadsheet. Lots of tutorials

Yah I have one but I wanted to benchmark because I've been doing the same thing for the past 5 years now and wonder if there's popularity around a new tool I haven't heard of. Spreadsheet is still king.
