Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for managing cash flow and spending are disclosed. Such systems, methods, and devices may include generating a preliminary budget based on user input of planned or historical spending of the user. These user inputs are interfaced into a computer server, the budget having one or more budget items. Further, individual preliminary budget items are aggregated and consolidated into a small number of allocation allotments based on inherent timing and mode of payment for each of the expenses. Further such systems, methods and devices may cause to generate one or more financial accounts and a cash flow mechanism to facilitate the flow of funds coupling available funds with the planned allocation allotments. Feedback from user and/or financial institutions provide critical information to track the balance of allocation allotments in real time to chronological targets helping users better and more consistently manage spending behaviors over the budget cycle.
