Why The Life Buddy exists
Most people aren't bad with money. They just can't see where it goes. Banking apps show what already left your account. Spreadsheets break the moment life gets busy. Neither tells you what you can spend tonight without coming up short before payday.
The Life Buddy was built to answer that one question. You add your bills, pay and spending allowances once. It repeats them every month, splits them fairly between the people you live with, and keeps a running Safe to Spend figure.
What The Life Buddy does
- Tracks household bills, income, benefits and credit balances in one dashboard.
- Splits bills between couples and housemates, equally or by income.
- Shows a daily spending allowance and warns you before a bill goes out.
- Offers free calculators anyone can use without an account, including the bill splitter, split bills by income and debt repayment calculator.
Who runs The Life Buddy
The Life Buddy is an independent UK product, founded and run by Ash Stevens. It isn't owned by a bank, doesn't sell your data and doesn't take commission for pushing financial products. It's paid for by subscribers, which keeps the incentives simple.
