"Firefly III" is a financial manager. It can help you keep track of expenses, income, budgets and everything in between. It even supports credit cards, shared household accounts and savings accounts! It's pretty fancy. You should use it to save and organise money.
To install Firefly III, you'll need a web server (preferrably on Linux) and access to the command line. Then, please read the [installation guide](https://firefly-iii.github.io/installation-guide/).
Personal financial management is pretty difficult, and everybody has their own approach to it. Some people make budgets, other people limit their cashflow by throwing away their credit cards, others try to increase their current cashflow. There are tons of ways to save and earn money.
- Firefly runs on your own server, so you are fully in control of your data. Remember, there is no such thing as "the cloud", it’s just somebody else’s computer!
If you like Firefly and if it helps you save lots of money, why not send me [a dime for every dollar saved](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=44UKUT455HUFA) (this is a joke, although the Paypal form works just fine, try it!)
