I second YNAB, but as you said, it requires diligent tracking especially for those of us living outside the US and can't hook their bank account into it. I happen to love the diligent tracking, though, and it's just part of my dai

This couldn't have come at a better time for me. I'm trying to migrate off of Heroku and my default was to AWS, but this definitely gave me more options. One advantage of AWS is that there seems to often be free AWS credits thrown
