I’m using the good ol’ Excel spreadsheet to track expenses, income, NW, etc. Are there any other tools or apps that you guys found useful?
Also shoutout to my fellow spreadsheet power users 😎

I used to use spreadsheets for budgeting but recently switched to selfhosting Actual.
For FIRE numbers (investments, spending, etc.), I built my own site that tracks everything:

Neat — do you manually input data or do you have some kind of scraping set up to feed it? Why a custom site vs pure spreadsheets?
I have it automating as much as I can - fund prices, crypto holdings and prices. Technically, anything it’s doing can be done in a spreadsheet, but some of the more complicated stuff (like accessing other sites) is significantly easier and more stable here.
Also does some cool things like the blurring when I want to share a screenshot, calculating what part of my spending is covered by my assets, tracking historical data, etc. Pie charts where I can exclude data points with a click. Includes/excludes data points based on settings.
