Budgeting Apps for Seniors and Retirees

Fixed Social Security checks, Medicare premiums, and prescription costs call for a calmer kind of budgeting than gig-economy apps offer. These tools favor large text, phone support, and simple monthly categories over gamification, helping retirees track fixed income against healthcare bills and required minimum distributions.
