Other budgeting apps have too many features that don't actually help and just make budgeting overcomplicated for no reason. They are hard to use and only show one month at a time which does not create long term progress. Expense tracking and budgeting should reduce your stress, not add to it! MoolaCon's patent pending features show you yearly projected variance with a real-time MoolaCon spending readiness level so you quickly know where you stand. Over budget? Don't worry, the countdown timer gives you precisely how long it would take to get back on track without any additional variable spending.
