Feeling overwhelmed managing your money? It’s time for a new approach! The Happy Giraffe is a free weekly budget app that makes money management simple, empowering, and even happy. Our goal is to help you live within your means using a system that is easy to follow and actually sustainable.

A TRULY UNIQUE BUDGETING SYSTEM
Following the principles in our book, The Happy Giraffe Budget, we combine cashflow forecasting, a weekly allowance, and a dedication to simplifying every step in the process. The result is an easy to use budgeting app. Like it or not, everyone has to manage their money. So we make it … happier!

Our system is refreshingly simple: set up your budget once and track one weekly number. That’s it. This weekly budget planner is perfect for those who want to spend less time worrying about money and more time enjoying life. Using our system and app, you’ll be able to:

-Gain confidence in your financial choices by managing trade-offs and consequences
-Improve financial conversations in your relationships
-Feel empowered so your money no longer controls you
-Implement a proven system that’s also customized to your situation and the things that make you happy
-Find happiness and gratitude while still living within your means

A FORWARD LOOKING BUDGET
Unlike a basic expense tracker, The Happy Giraffe includes a built in 2 year cash flow forecast. See every paycheck and bill mapped out before it happens. This helps you avoid negative balances and understand exactly how much you can safely spend each week.

A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION
The Happy Giraffe is a registered 501(c)(3) non profit focused on helping you find happiness in budgeting (yes, YOU!).

This whole idea started when we (Nigel and Laura Bloomfield) were in college and struggling to stick to a budget. No matter what method we tried, nothing worked! Eventually we created our own system that was easier, less stressful, and made us happy! It was a tremendous blessing to finally have our finances under control and we knew we had to share it.

We saw people charging huge fees to teach their methods (that aren’t very helpful or unique). We didn’t like that at all. So we created a nonprofit and started offering free spreadsheets. Over 200,000 people around the world have used them. This budgeting app is the next step.
