Our Mission
We know how heavy it can feel when life is busy and money still needs watching. Our mission is to help households see where cash is really going, so you can spot waste, protect savings, and feel more in control together.
The BudgetBadger Story
We're a family of four with two young children. Between juggling schedules, surprise expenses, and the mental load of staying organized, it was too easy for money to disappear and bill due dates to turn into chaos.
There was a stretch where work disappeared for me. The stress and uncertainty were hard to carry as the family provider. Bills didn't wait, and we had to get serious about everyday spending; where it was leaking, and how to rein it in instead of watching accounts drift.
We had relied on Mint for years until Intuit shut it down. Like a lot of people, we suddenly needed a new place to pull our finances together.
Out of that season came BudgetBadger: a single source of truth we both trust, with clear visibility into category leaks and unusual spend, recurring charges in one view, a savings rate to defend, and timely nudges so it feels like something has our back.
As the founder, I have spent almost two decades in finance, helping companies like Stripe and Reddit cut spend at scale. BudgetBadger brings that same discipline to household money, without asking you to become a finance expert.
If money has ever felt noisy, scary, or impossible to explain in your household, you're not alone. We exist to give everyday households a calmer, clearer way to see where money goes and keep more of it.
