Do you track your expenses monthly? Annually? Do you have an app or do you use an excel spreadsheet? Any suggested tools?

I use a spreadsheet and track monthly.

I use Tiller, which is a paid service that dumps your transactions into an Excel spreadsheet or Google Sheets. I like being able to have full control, without needing to copy everything into the spreadsheet.

Does your bank not allow you to download your transaction list as a CSV? I used to do this.

I have lots of bank accounts, and doing that every so often is a real PITA. And each is in a different format.

I get far more value from having those separate accounts than I would save by consolidating to 1-2 accounts.
