6 Incredible Apps to Help You Organize Your Money

Do you want to manage your money better? There’s an app for that.

In fact, there are several apps for that.  Here are 6 of the best.

1. Mint

Mint is probably the most popular personal finance app. That’s because it’s a one-stop shop for all your finance-related needs.

If you want to manage your spending, savings, earnings, and budgeting, Mint offers features that will help you. Additionally, Mint syncs with your accounts so you can gain up-to-date info about your bank accounts, brokerage accounts, and retirement accounts.

Also, Mint is user friendly. Many people think that sophisticated apps are only suitable for users with careers in tech, but the learning curve for Mint is minimal.

2. GoodBudget

GoodBudget lives up to its name. If you’re interested in putting together a budget that makes sense and won’t be too challenging, then this is the app you want.

The app offers an “Envelopes” section that uses the budgeting method known by the same name. You put money in an envelope designated for a specific purpose. When you want to spend money for that purpose, you take it out of the envelope. If there’s no more money left in the envelope, then you don’t spend the money. The envelopes are replenished with cash every month, according to your budget.

3. Mvelopes

Mvelopes begins by asking you questions about your financial goals. Then, it offers you the opportunity to sync your bank accounts. From there, it tracks your spending and income.

After that, Mvelopes lives up to its name by using the envelope system to handle your budgeting. However, it starts by asking you to define your income and create a budget before you even fill out the envelopes.

4. BillGuard

The point of BillGuard is twofold: first it protects your cards from unauthorized transactions; second, it helps you understand your spending habits.

BillGuard employs the familiar Tinder-esque swipe motion to ensure that you account for all your spending. The app shows transactions that you supposedly made. You swipe right if you really did make the transaction. Otherwise, it might be time to call the police.

5. Pocket Expense

Pocket Expense doesn’t put the cart before the horse. It gives you the opportunity to track your spending before you create a budget.

Unlike other apps, though, Pocket Expense doesn’t sync with your bank accounts. You’ll have to enter your transactions manually. That might seem tedious, but it offers the advantage of security.

6. HomeBudget

HomeBudget is another extremely user-friendly app that allows you to track your household income and spending. The home screen presents you with various accounting categories and an account value for each one. It also offers you a color-coded chart that tracks your expenses as a percentage of income. Overall, HomeBudget is a great app if you’re looking for a quick “executive summary” of your personal finances.

These are by no means the only apps that will help you manage money. There are also coupon apps and apps that show you where and when sales are going on in your area. However, the apps listed are a great way to help you get a handle on your finances.
