Every year I reflect on how I spent money in the previous year. Previously, I have manually scraped my bank statements and put together a report, but 2025 was interesting because I built a fairly overkill personal finance product to make this report easy to generate for myself.
Because it is really easy, I m going to do a deep dive on how I spent money in 2025. (I was able to put this all together in ~10 mins)
My Financé
Fully featured sandbox to explore: https://demo.myfinancereport.com...
I use the tool in 2 ways:
1. I look at how I'm spending my money.
Duh, but most people probably can't tell you how much they spend on groceries per month, or how much they need to make per year to break even. I built the tool to make answering these questions trivial (even across multiple accounts).
my actual grocery spend:
2. I review my net worth. I used visit all my accounts once a month, write down their balance and drop it into a google sheet. Getting this 'for free' saves me about 15 minutes per month.
not my actual account balances :)
It's not free to use ($70 / year), though you can try it for 7 days to make sure it actually works with your accounts and things like that. We use Plaid for handling the connections to accounts.
One nice side effect is that I almost never have to log into my actual bank account and get served "ads" and "offers" from the people who already make money from me...
I'd love to hear any feedback!

Awesome product ✨ Many people manage finances with a partner, and a shared dashboard could be a fantastic premium feature and a great way to double your user base per account. Keep up the great work 👍

@talshyn great suggestion! i've been thinking along these lines actually! likely coming down the pipeline soon :)
@talshyn Couldn't agree more. You might like FinFam (link in bio)
FinFam's more about decisionmaking and planning, less about expense management and budgeting. Feel free to use My Financé for that :)

For a second I thought that those are expenses for a fiancé :D I was a bit confused by naming :D
MacPaw
@busmark_w_nika haha same here!
CalPulse
@busmark_w_nika same here! I am also confused by the name lol
My Financé
@busmark_w_nika yeah i probably need to work on the name a bit! it's pretty hard for most people to say the first few times.
"just say finance, but with a bit of french at the end"
thanks for taking a look :)

@catt_marroll I know, but in some cases it could exclude single people :D because I am a person really interested in finances, money etc. But as soon as I read "fiancé" I was like: "Uhhh, ahaha, I am without a partner, I am excluded then." :D *scroll down to see other products

@busmark_w_nika ah interesting, great feedback! too much focus on being funny and not enough on being clear.

@catt_marroll I like copywriting (it is really playful, but if someone who reads very quickly and is ephemeral, which is in this fast era 95%, they can miss it)..

@kelly_carroll3 thanks mom! :)
Great!!! This is very friendly to people with financial management needs! You can quickly see your recent financial plan and wealth changes! In the future, will you consider accessing AI Agent to help manage wealth?
Congrats on the launch! I've used this product a bit over the last several months and have found it intuitive and reasonably easy to add accounts and see a breakdown of my spending. I haven't checked out the more custom features, but I'm excited to do so soon

@chris_spalding1 thanks for stopping by Chris! appreciate you!
Congrats on the launch!
Super clean dashboard. Can it auto-categorize expenses, or can users set custom categories for spending?
My Financé
@sohan_patil thanks! when an account is created it gets some generic categories. you can change these around and the transactions get recategorized using your added categories
