Took me three years to realize a budget app was worth the money, now I get it

I used to think budgeting apps were a scam. I mean why pay $10 a month when a spreadsheet does the same thing, right? Last month my crew and I had a slow week in March with barely any jobs coming in. I sat down and added up all my small tool purchases from the last year and it came to $600 just on stuff I forgot I bought. That hit me hard. So I signed up for YNAB and it caught that I was bleeding cash on random trips to the hardware store. Has anyone else had that moment where you realized a subscription saved you more than it cost?

Oh man, that moment of realization HURTS but it's so worth it.

Wow @martin.vera, that pain usually means you just knocked down a wall you built years ago.
