About Happy Buckets - Budget planner
The Barefoot Investor's book gave you the plan. This app helps you actually do it. Happy Buckets is a companion app for the book. Split your take-home pay into buckets, track your goals, pay down debt, and check in on payday: weekly, fortnightly or monthly. That's it. No bank logins. No subscriptions. No tracking every coffee. ABOUT If you've read The Barefoot Investor by Scott Pape, you know the buckets: Daily, Splurge, Smile, Fire, Mojo, and Grow. Happy Buckets puts them all in your pocket. Set up in minutes, ready to use on payday. This isn't another budget app that demands your attention every day. It's a simple, focused tool for people who want to follow the book's method without spreadsheets, complicated apps, or overthinking. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Split your pay across all six money buckets (or create your own) • Set custom percentages that fit your real life • Track savings goals and see exactly when they'll be reached • Track debt and know when you'll be debt-free at your current rate • Track investments and watch your money grow • Plan expenses inside each bucket so you always know where you stand • Add multiple income sources • Process one-off payments like tax returns or bonuses with One-time Split • Learn the Barefoot Investor's book method as you go with built-in guidance at every step • Set payday or monthly reminders to stay on track • Customise everything: colours, icons, names, descriptions PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. No bank logins. No data leaves your device. Your plan syncs securely via iCloud and stays completely private. WHO IT'S FOR Happy Buckets is for people who've read The Barefoot Investor and want a clean, simple way to follow the method. It's not for people who want to track every transaction or connect their bank accounts. It's for people who want to set up a plan, check in once a month, and get on with their life. If you haven't read the book, you can still use the app to learn the method. Your money plan starts here. Happy Buckets is not affiliated with The Barefoot Investor.
