Technology is always here to help us, so let’s use it to our advantage, especially when it comes to saving money. There are a lot of smart phone apps out there that aim to make your everyday budgeting needs a bit less stressful. But which ones are worth using? WiseDime has you covered so you know which ones to install to keep your wallet under watch.
Mint
Probably the most talked about and most used, Mint is a great, personalized app that, if you take the time to put in accurate and personal information, you will get a detailed report that helps you make the best budgeting decisions. You can sync Mint to your bank accounts for automatic updates whenever deposits or withdrawals are made.
PocketGuard
If you’re a visual learner, you might want to download PocketGuard. This app focuses more on showing you graphs that track your spending and earnings. Once again, sync the app to your bank accounts for the most accurate budgeting tips.
DollarBird
A mix of the two above, this app is a good balance for personal income tracking as well as monthly incomes. While I haven’t used this app personally, there are so many benefits to having it on your phone.
No matter which app you choose to use, having someone (or something) to keep your expenses in tact is always a good idea.
