Clark Howard's Tips

Free budgeting tools online!

November 22, 2007

People often contact Clark asking about good free budgeting tools online.

Clark recently discovered one free site that he really likes called Wesabe.com. If you're curious about that name, it apparently derives from saber, the Spanish word for "to know." So the name is a Spanglish-ism that roughly translates to "we know."

Wesabe.com offers you the opportunity to assess your finances and make sure you're on the right track. It's a community-based site, so that means you'll find users of the site helping each other.

Clark wants people to know that there's no one right way to save for the future. Some people like the envelope system, while others use the pay-yourself-first method. Wesabe.com is just another tool in the toolbox that you might be able to put to work.

Another site Clark likes is FinancialEngines.com, which can help you plan your retirement. It uses the Monte Carlo analysis method, and tries to prepare you to meet your financial goals even when factoring in the odds of a market crash.
