Best Budgeting Tools

Let’s face it. No matter what our income at some point in our adult lives we struggle with money. Maybe we don’t make enough money or maybe we have crazy high bills.

But, more likely, is we don’t have an intentional plan to manage what we have and we don’t have great tools or systems in place to help.

So having been debt-free for over a decade and going from dead-broke to living the middle-class dad dream, these are tools I KNOW can help you.

PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT

Personal Capital is one of the best tools for budgeting you will ever use, especially if you have a lot of accounts. It helps you track your spending, have a better overview of your retirement portfolio and tracks your net worth.

The best part is, this app is completely free for everyone to use.

People often pay huge amounts of money for someone to sit down with them and tell them how much they could have in a decade or something similar if they saved a certain amount of money. This app, however, does all of this for free and counts all of the returns you could expect over time.

CANCEL OLD SUBSCRIPTIONS WITH A CLICK

Almost all of us have some subscriptions we are still paying for even though we have no use of them anymore, right? This program can help.

For instance, you are no longer using your old Netflix account but your partner’s instead. Or you use Pandora but still pay for Spotify? Well, you won’t have to spend that extra money anymore on things you never really use. This app is here to help you get rid of them and save the money up instead.

When it all adds up, you get a pretty nice sum you could either save up or spend on some of the things you need. This app will send you a text containing all of those subscriptions that you pay and then you can cancel them by just replying with Cancel and the subscriptions name.

But they can also work with service providers (cable, phone, etc) to lower your bills or take advantage of discounts and deals and automatically get them added on your account.

When you put your expenses under control, you can also set up a savings account on this app and set aside a few dollars every week, day or month and help your savings goal.

GET A REFUND WHEN YOU OVERPAY

Sound too good to be true?

But yes, if you sign up with Paribus (at no cost!), they will review purchases from major retailers like Wal-Mart, Target, Kohl’s, Amazon and many others and if they see a price drop on an item you recently purchased, they pay you the difference. 

Earning money was NEVER this easy!
