Financial advisor and Safe Money for Life Coach Jeffrey A. Forrest shares his recommendation for the top financial apps to download and help you live your best life possible!
6. GONE ARE THE DAYS OF DESKS COVERED IN
BILLS, FILING CABINETS OVERSTUFFED AND
DISORGANIZED, AND JUNK DRAWERS FULL OF
OLD RECEIPTS.
THESE FOUR ESSENTIAL APPS MAKES KEEPING
TRACK OF YOUR FINANCES EASY, EFFICIENT
AND ORGANIZED.
7. MINT
An all-in-one experience, Mint allows you to view and
organize all of your financial information in one place. Yes,
ALL of it. Checking and savings accounts, credit card
transactions, bill payments, investment tracking–Mint has it
covered.
It even tracks your spending patterns and designs a
personalized budget, and the iPad app includes a feature
that create graphs to display your net worth and cash flow.
With security features that won’t keep you up at night, Mint
is the perfect app to keep a careful eye on your financial
health.
8. DEBT TRACKER PRO
By organizing your debts, recommending payment strategies, and
scheduling out payments on your personal calendar, the power to pay
back your debt is all in the palm of your hand with this app.
Think of it as the helpful friend riding shotgun while you’re driving cross-
country, they’re holding the map, suggesting alternate routes, scheduling
out your stops along the way, reminding you to make a left here… a
right there.
DebtTracker Pro also incorporates a visual reminder to show how close
you are to paying off your debt, providing users an incentive of sorts to
complete the long and difficult journey that getting out of debt can be.
9. EXPENSIFY
FOR THE PROFESSIONALS, THIS APP ELIMINATES THE
WORRY TO CONSTANTLY REMEMBER TO GRAB A
RECEIPT FOR BUSINESS EXPENSES. EVEN BETTER? THE
PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNOLOGY CAN ACTUALLY
READ VALUES ON RECEIPTS, SO YOU NEVER HAVE
TO MANUALLY ENTER HOW MUCH THAT DINNER
WAS, OR THE FOUR DOLLAR TIP YOU GAVE YOUR
TAXI DRIVER. YOU CAN EVEN KEEP TRACK OF MILES
TRAVELED, AND IMPORT YOUR CREDIT
TRANSACTIONS DIGITALLY!
GOODBYE PAPER TRAIL!
10. YOU NEED A BUDGET
(YNAB)
An app that helps create a budget in addition to you sticking to it, it is
supplemental to the $60 software you purchase for your Windows or
Mac. For those hoping to get themselves back in financial good graces, or
are simply looking to better understand their financial situation, the app
and software are worth it, so long as you follow the four core rules:
1. Give every dollar a job
2. Save for a rainy day
3. Roll with the punches
4. Live on last month’s income
