Money Management Apps



Greetings Frugal Folk, 

Mobile apps are quickly becoming one major way we run our lives. Think about it, you use your phone for more than just texting and calling but also for GPS and a music player; why not use it as a personal finance manager as well? I know how it is these days. Whether you are grinding to the top or just plain busy, here a few cell phone and computer apps that I use or have heard good things about. 


 1. Mint: Mint allows you to organize all of your personal finance accounts into one place so you can manage your money a little better. You can keep tabs on your spending, create a nice budget, and even get bill alerts and reminders from checking, savings, and credit cards.




2. Check: Check lets you recall when payments are due and to create monthly budgets. It stays on top of your bills, budget, and money for you, so that you do not have to worry about missing a payment or late fees.





3. Doxo: This app allows you to combine all of your important family information into one organized space, helping you move way past financial management and into family and home finance management. It lets you back-up important family documents and other neat features as well. 


    



4. SigFig: This app lets you design a professional investment portfolio, check on it, and automatically make changes to keep it on track. You can sync accounts like Fidelity, Schwab, E*Trade, and Scottrade.





5. Toshl Finance: This app tracks all of those morning Starbucks cups, Chipotle lunches, and Circle K gas fill-ups. It was built with the concept that knowing where your money is at all times is the first step to financial freedom.





6. Spending Tracker: Spending Tracker helps you to trace your budget so that you are better able to save money.






7. Expensify: This mobile app is for business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs who have to track their business expenses for reimbursement or tax purposes. They have a “SmartScan” technology that reads receipts and records the expense. Expensify helps track your mileage and record your business related travel.



8. Mvelopes:  Mvelopes is pretty cool because it allows you to put cash into different envelopes, each labeled with a different section from your budget.

As Always......Live Frugal, Stay Gold
