MyFitnessPal should make a sister app called MyFinancePal.

Yes, exactly. I used to look at it every month and update. Then it became every couple months. Then it became whenever there were major changes (i.e. new job, mortgage, etc...).
I find it comforting to know exactly how much more I have or how much of a shortfall I have. Can make a plan after that.
I've shown this to people who have troubles budgeting. I'm amazed almost none of them will take the time/effort to look at their finances in this way.
