I have an excel sheet with basic things like my income, rent, other monthly items, and rough estimates for things like groceries or regular hobbies. Then I look at what's left over and use that as a reference point. I definitely don't keep a very strict budget, and you vould argue it doesn't fit the bill for an "official budget", but it's worked well enough for me so far

Also my banking app has some basic budgetary info, so I can look at my monthly spending and such
