Who gives someone credit who seemingly had poor credit; and who is DOJ? Two very separate but serious questions. I heard about DOJ on Court TV tonight. Anyway, god bless you all.

Can I get a testimony from someone who has used a service like this to get rid of credit card debt "80% faster" like Rob talks about on his show? I'm considering this option for my daughter who is carrying a lot of credit card debt and doesn't qualify for a debt consolidation loan. Anyone actually done this? What do you think? How long did it take and what w...

When I run a report and specify a date range for 2022, why am I getting transactions from 2023 in my report.?

I have 6 transactions that are one month old that still say "Pending". How do I get these to post?

Fairly new member from Mvelopes... Did the funding for January and that worked well. Will February automatically fund the same amounts on the same day as January did or do I have to activate that funding every month?

Is there a way for me to only see unverified transactions?

I have two thoughts stemming from today’s show:

1. One of the hardest parts of being a young adult personally is the thought of whether I will ever be able to buy a home. I love where I live in the suburbs of Denver but it is so expensive and I am unsure how I will get enough for a down payment. I’m only 23 and in no rush to buy a home. But it seems like a l...

What is the best way to account for transactions that will come back in reimbursement? It comes out as an increase in cashflow when the deposit comes in, but in reality, it's just breaking even with what was spent. Thoughts? I just don't want to look at my cash flow and assume I have a lot more after the end of the month :)...

I recently purchased a 2019 car and my loan rate is 8.19% APR. I plan on paying it off ahead of time but was looking online and found a site called Caribou that says I may be able to refinance for a significantly better rate. Has anyone ever dealt with this company (Caribou)? And what was your experience?...

I have a credit card limit question. My credit card keeps increasing my credit limit even though I haven't asked and they keep doing it about every six months. It's now up to about $15,000. I surely don't need that much of a limit but just wondering if it really matters?

I do not have any debt and the credit card is paid off every month. It is only used...

In another thread, Ivan mentioned "bunching" and Donor Advised Funds (DAFs). The high-level concept is to concentrate itemized deductions in one year (the "bunch" year) and then the alternate year claim the Standard deduction ("Standard" year). Shifting eligible itemized deductions out of the Standard year to the bunch year is key.

1. A DAF is one way to ...

This is a follow up to my last post as I forgot to mention I am over 59 1/2. So at this age I don't have to pay a 10% tax for converting these to Roth IRA right?

I have heard never let your emotions drive your investment decisions. In such a volatile investing environment, how do you stay calm and avoid impulsive decisions to buy or sell?

We are debt free. Praise God! And we’ve been renting for the past three years. We see a home that we like and would build. However, it would require us to take out a mortgage in order to purchase.

My question is, do you suggest that we continue to rent until we can purchase a home in full or take on a mortgage?...

Question for those of you who have dealt with mountains of debt, what did you do to get out?

Who has used these and what for? I started staying at home with the kids while my husband works in July, so I have no income. We are in a tight spot with significant credit card debt and on top of that due to hurricane Ida/insurance issues our monthly mortgage has increased $350+ and we also still need to repair our roof. We can either do a loan with the ro...

When assigning a transaction to an envelope, I’ve almost clicked on DELETE many times versus SAVE since I go “top to bottom” in processing the transaction. Please consider swapping those as SAVE is used more often than DELETE. ☺️

Should I require the people renting a house from me to have their own Renter's Insurance policy? Is there any liability that could come back on me if they don't have one?

I am a recent college graduate. Unfortunately I chose a major with poor job outlook with only a bachelors (psychology). After taking a few finance classes as electives I am interested in seeing if a career in finance would fit me. I am wondering what would be the best entry level positions to learn the field?

Are there any Christian banks or Credit Unions that could be recommended?

How do I see a report for a previous month?

Mvelope user still wrapping my head around funding. Am I correct that it really doesn't matter when you fund as long as your envelope planning matches your income?

I am a new user and confused on what I do with an income transaction. Both my husband and I get paid every other week (opposite weeks). So, we get one paycheck automatically deposited into our checking account every week. But the actual date changes every month.

Has anyone ever heard timeshare success stories?

Is there any specific time of the day that credit card transactions download? It seems all across the board, not consistent. Additionally, I seem to need to re-connect Chase accounts a lot. My current ones have not updated in two days.

Where can a 21 years old go to open a Roth IRA account?

How do I manually add transactions on the app?

I turn 59 1/2 later this year. I’m thinking about pulling $120k out of my 401k to pay off my mortgage. This will still leave (hopefully) about 700k left in my 401k. Is this a good or bad idea?

I did learn these are three of the leading credit reporting agencies — Equifax (www.Equifax.com or 800-685-1111), Experian (www.Experian.com or 888-397-3742), and TransUnion (www.TransUnion.com or 877-322-8228).

I just signed up. When going to envelopes I swipe I only get delete, there is no way to add amount date etc… please advise. Thanks so much!

When I get paid, do I split the transaction directly into the different envelopes or do I need to do something with the salary envelope to get my total balance to reflect correctly?

I need to get a credit report. From what I read I should get a couple from different sources so nothing is missed. Would someone please tell me how and where to get them? Just downloading this app last week I wanted to ask this here first before just Googling it in line....

Hi, I am trying to reconnect an account (not sure why it disconnected?), but Plaid wants to verify my account by sending me an email to an account I no longer have. Now what? My profile with you has the correct email address.

Hi...it would be helpful to be able to see the current balance in each envelope when on the Plan Screen. This will enable me to see if I need to add or decrease funds for each envelope item when I'm doing my budget (Plan).

Is it possible to get a report that shows the total balance of all envelopes. I used this feature in Mvelopes.

I have three problems with MoneyWise.

1. Why won’t my bank stayed connected?

2. Why do I have a negative funding balance? When I funded my paycheck yesterday it said 0.00 to fund when I was done.

3. Why do some of my transactions not keep when I allocate them to an envelope? I’ll allocate several transactions to an envelope and the next time I come ba...

Still adjusting to the pending transactions, as they come/go till they become a posted transaction.

Newer user, and I'm appreciating the service so far. Here's two feature requests that would be cool to see:

Hi there

New user here. I've loaded in all of my bank and investment accounts, but to get a true net worth picture, etc. how do I load in my other assets such as cars, house to also capture the equity and value of such items? Thank you

Hi, Former mvelopes user here. Mvelopes allowed us to enter income as coming in twice a month...which was much more convenient for me. Faithfi is only allowing biweekly. Can you please add this option? Because Funding is set for the month--and with income coming in sometimes three times a month if things are set to biweekly--things get very confusing....

I am so confused by the Available for Funding section. Right now it show a negative balance that is equal to the amount in my credit card envelopes which I realize is debt I have not paid yet. Should that always be the case?

How do I get my bank transactions to come over to MW? Is that something that I can set to automatically happen or do I have to manually connect to my bank each time? Thanks

Hi everybody - another user from Mvelopes here! So glad for this platform and it looks great. My question is this: I figured out how to get all my balances aligned up with my former Mvelopes balances - except for my negative ones. I travel extensively for work and always use a separate envelope for that and am reimbursed every few weeks. That being said I ha...

Hi - new user here coming from Mvelopes like so many others. Learning the ropes and really like it.

How do you fund a credit card envelope with an existing balance that will be paid off monthly?

Former mveloper...many of us have made the migration.

Is there a way to view or even export a 12 month (forward) snapshot of future budgeting? This is a great way to visualize budgeting and planning each envelope. It is especially helpful to forecast hitting goals or even getting an individual envelope out of the red.......

I’m a past mvelopes user. With that app I set a monthly budget but was then able to create budgets with each paycheck. My husband gets checks for retirement and social security. I get paid weekly.

I am brand new to even learning about the MoneyWise app! Didn't really have an idea it even existed, but do like seeing that it does.

Anyone else getting an incorrect available for funding amount showing? It was correct before today and it has been showing a negative balance on my end which is weird.

Can you split pending or placeholder transactions? I can't find a way to do so. Most of my transactions involve splits, as we have a lot of different envelopes so that we track different areas (ex. food, toiletries, paper goods, etc, all that might be in one transaction at a grocery store) If this functionality doesn't exist, is it something that might be co...

Former Mvelopes user here. Is there anything in MoneyWise that allows multiple envelope transfers like the sweep function in Mvelopes? Having to do it from each envelope to others is so time consuming.

Also, you have to be in an envelope to select Transfer, but the app still asks you which envelope to transfer from. Shouldn't this at least default to the e...

When I am working to clear my unassigned transactions via credit card, I can’t tell which credit card is which, the names don’t come up on this screen (even though they are named and I can see them when I look at the Envelopes section, so there’s a lot of going back and forth between screens to figure it out). Any ideas?...

Former Mvelopes user here in need of help. It seems almost every time I try to log into Moneywise, my Chase card is no longer connected to Moneywise (I see a message “Chase Connection error, Account Login required), and I have to reconnect all over again. Any idea why this might be happening?

Additionally, when I go to reconnect the account, and I go throug...

So my husband is paid monthly on the last business day of the month. I treat his month's income as funding for the next month. So for example, his Dec 30th income is really money 2/3 of January's expenses.

It appears that with rollover this won't be an issue as the money will be allocated to the envelopes on the 30th and be there to use. (can someone confi...

Just a warning that the automatic transaction assignments to envelopes should be reviewed from time to time. This is under Transactions - Preferences - Transaction Preferences. You can see the list of things that MW has "learned" and will auto-assign in the future. That works great for certain items, like utilities which are always the same. But if you're...
