Adding Income on Mobile
Adding income kicks off a new cycle in your budget, no matter where the money comes from—whether it's a paycheck, interest accrued or gift money. Once it's entered, you'll give those dollars jobs, then spend (or save!) them based on your budget.
Be sure to only add your income only once you have received it! You'll be more successful with your budget working only with money you have on hand.
If you're just starting out, you'll need to Add your Accounts to your budget before you can add income. Once your accounts are added, you'll be ready to follow the steps below. 🎉
