Using SpendSquirrel
What is a spending plan?
A spending plan is a plan for how you intend to use your money each month, income minus bills minus planned spending. It is different from a budget in that it gives every pound a purpose before the month begins.
Can I use SpendSquirrel for my Debtors Anonymous spending plan?
Yes. SpendSquirrel is designed with DA members in mind. It produces the kind of monthly overview that many sponsors and programme members ask for.
What if my income is irregular?
You can update your income at any time during the month. Many self-employed users enter their income as it arrives.
Can I share my spending plan with my sponsor or partner?
You can export or print your plan. Household sharing features are available on the Household plan.
Billing and account
Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time, from your account settings. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees.
Will I lose my data if I cancel?
You can export your data before cancelling. We retain data for 30 days after cancellation in case you change your mind.
Is there a free version?
Yes. The free plan is free forever, not just a trial.
