Control Your Spending with the Ease and Power of Envelopes!

If you want financial freedom, you have to be able to control your spending. To control your spending, you need a tool that tells you how much money you can spend in any category before you spend it. It doesn't help to find out at the end of the month that you accidentally bought new clothes with your mortgage payment.

Principal plan uses a software version of the Envelope System to help you set aside portions of your income when you get paid. As you go through the month, the software tracks how much money you have left in each category. Before you spend it.

See how much you have to spend, before you spend it!

With Principal Plan, you set aside money for different budget categories by allocating your income to budget envelopes. By setting money aside before you spend it, you can easily track how much you have to spend in each category by simply looking at each envelope's balance.

Principal Plan prints envelope balances in many convenient sizes, so you have the information to make good spending decisions as you go through the week.

Happy People
"I've tried several envelope-based systems, and Principal Plan is my favorite. I'm a financial planner, and have recommended it to several clients."

"I have so enjoyed using Principal Plan over the years. It has helped us give, save, and spend wisely.

I made the switch to [an online service] because of the ability to sync with my bank website. At the time, Principal Plan was not able to do that. [The online service] is helpful but the $29.99 per quarter is expensive. When I learned that I could import my bank transactions using Principal Plan I made the switch back."
