#### A Simple Budgeting program using the envelope system

**Simple Budget** is a simple standalone home budgeting program (app) that helps you manage your spending and saving.

Simple Budget was written because I wanted a very simple way of keeping track of my expenses and savings from month to month.

**What Simple Budget Does:**

* Keeps track of your spending.
* Allows you to track your saving for a budget fund month to month
* It is easy.
* It is free. Use at your own risk, It is a work in progress.

**Here is a list of NON-features:**

* It does not have any bells and whistles.
* It is not “internationalized” and uses the “$”.
* Since I initially wrote if for myself, it is in “English”.
* It does not encrypt its data file.
* It does not access the Internet.
* You can not access it on-line.
* There is no smartphone app for it.
* It does not display ads.
* And it does not spy on you.

I created Simple Budget for my own use. If you find bugs, I would love to know about them. If you have an idea for a feature or a suggestion of how to do something better, I welcome it. I created Simple Budget for myself, and decided maybe someone else could benefit from it also. Enjoy using **Simple Budget** as you strive to be a better steward of your finances.

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install SimpleBudget

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/simplebudget/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install SimpleBudget

To install SimpleBudget, simply use the following command:
