How to Use Monarch Money (Full 2025 Guide)

I use Monarch Money to manage our budget and expense tracking. In this video, I'll work through Monarch, covering the features I use the most. If you want to try Monarch, you can get 50% off the first year's subscription using the promo code ROB50 and this link: https://go.robberger.com/monarch-rob50/yt-review.

Monarch is an advertiser, meaning I earn a fee if you sign up for the app. They are not, however, a sponsor of this video or my channel. My views of the Monarch Money app are my own.

ABOUT ME

While still working as a trial attorney in the securities field, I started writing about personal finance and investing In 2007. In 2013 I started the Doughroller Money Podcast, which has been downloaded millions of times. I've since sold my websites, bought them back, and started a new website and this YouTube channel.

I'm also the author of Retire Before Mom and Dad--The Simple Numbers Behind a Lifetime of Financial Freedom (https://amzn.to/3by10EE)
