SetAside vs SinkFund

SetAside turns one savings account into many virtual sub-accounts. Trick yourself out of Parkinsons Law,  stop spending money future-you is counting on,  and never stress bout money again!  WHY does it feel like you never have enough money? Payday comes in, your balance looks great… …and then car insurance hits. Big, rare expenses always seem to show up at the worst time. Most people think: “I just need to earn more.” But even when the income goes up, the stress often stays. That’s Parkinson’s Law:  The more money sits in your account, the more you spend – without noticing. The real problem? A part of your balance is already promised to future costs. You just don’t see it. When you buy a car, you don’t just buy the car. You “sign up” for: • yearly insurance • new tires every few years • repairs • inspections and check-ups Those expenses are guaranteed. They’re not “maybe”. So a part of the money on your bank account already belongs to them. But then what happens? Parkinson’s Law happens: You spend all the money – even the money your future self is counting on. That’s why every bill feels like a punch in the face. And it keeps happening again and again, right? Fridge broken - $800  Laptop too slow - $1,200  New tires $800 Dentist $$$ House Repairs $$$  etc. — The solution: set money aside before you can spend it SetAside is a simple personal finance and smart saving app based on the sinking funds method. Sinking funds turn those guaranteed future costs into small monthly amounts, so you stop spending money your future self already needs. Instead of guessing, you: 1. Create one extra savings account at your bank of choice. 2. Add all your future expenses into SetAside (car insurance, new phone, dentist, vacation, etc.). 3. SetAside calculates your monthly transfer amount. Set up one automatic transfer – and you’re done! On your real account, you only see money that truly belongs to you.
