I really really like it. I see the value and have signed up and added to my homescreen. Truly a great interface compared to typing out numbers. Also I really want to turn this into an iOS app! There's some cool stuff you can do with it natively, like add a buzz + sound when you save a buck, which sure would feel satisfying (ever used the task management app Clear?). Let me know if you wanna go that way and I'd be hap…
I opened this on my iPad expecting to find an app store link at their m.trykeep.com. I did not find one, instead I found a web page that kept asking me to touch and interact with it, but that barely wanted to react. I had to tap and hold 7 times to get the first "example" to work, and then closed it and gave up after 5 attempts on the second. I could not find it in the app store either, so is this a browser based sol…
I love the sentiment! I'll try this out when I have more time later, but I think it's worth noting that, of course, saving is only part of the equation. There is so much you can (and should) do to reduce expenses outside of the mundane day-to-day, as well! For great advice on pursuing financial independence or betterment, much of which has changed my life and habits, see: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/ "Financial Fr…

I'm finding the terminology a little strange for this one.. "Helps you love how you spend every dollar"? While I get the gist of what you're saying, it makes my head hurt a little bit. Am on Android (Moto G) and every time I tapped the goal amount text box, it requested me to "Rotate device to portrait" despite my portrait lock being turned on, so was unable to add a goal amount. I like the idea of this app but not q…
In Chrome on Android, it's impossible to complete the goal amount, so it's impossible to continue.
This is a cool idea. My bank recently introduced a similar feature in their mobile app. You can move a small amount of money from your current account to your savings account in a couple of clicks (no need to log in): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12xjelPXqWo
Based on my experience at least, YNAB (You Need A Budget -- http://www.youneedabudget.com/ ) is the best budgeting software out there. It's a lot more complex than this, and unlike something like Mint it does require you to manually enter transactions. However, it is really the best interface I've found for setting a budget. Probably the best feature is that it can naturally incorporate overspending. If you set your…

I read that blog yesterday as it was mentioned on a different thread. It seems most of his advice is don't buy anything you literally don't need to survive. What's the point of living if you can't enjoy your life? You'll be a rich corpse, who cares? What am I missing?
MMM is like religion... take 10% of it to heart and you'll likely find something of use... throw the other 90% out.
