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 a spreadsheet and track monthly.
I’ve been a long time You Need A Budget user. It’s really put me on the proper budgeting and goal building path.
However I need to likely make some changes in budgeting process to account for, now that I split expense more often with a partner. We’ve been using Splitwise to track split everyday expenses like groceries. If anyone has recommendations here with YNAB and Splitwise, I’d like to hear them. Right now my reporting in YMAB is all messed up considering the splits we do. When I do get reimbursed by my partner, it’s easier to pull from a single category as opposed to splitting that transaction out from what was recorded in Splitwise.
The recent AMEX issues with their import partners (MX and Plaid) are annoying, but I did manual entry back on V4 so nothing I’m not used to. But still considering there’s a yearly fee with new YNAB and it doesn’t import my main spending card is annoying.
My partner and I just combined budgets rather than trying to split everything.
Could you try YNAB together (no extra expense to you and you can offer it free) and use YNAB to split things as mentioned in comment? Or if you don’t mind losing some visibility then making a broad “together” expense category to pull from/put into?
Also! Maybe try a different card? Plenty of good cards to try churning! But I agree - it’s frustrating when one doesn’t pull. My credit unions credit card does that.
