Financial Tools
Wealthfront
Wealthfront is the easiest way to invest if you want to grow your money. You don’t have to worry about picking stocks or anything like that. The computers do it all for you based on how you take take risks.
The best part is it’s free as long as you have less than $5,000 in your account if you use my link. After you exceed $5,000 you get charged .25% a year for the account. There aren’t any trading fees, account opening fees, account closing fees, or withdrawal fees.
High Interest Savings Account
Saving money might be the most boring financial advice you’ll ever receive but it’s one of the most important.
Did you know there are savings accounts that give you higher than normal interest rates? You may already have a savings account where you put money away and make $2 in interest a year.
A high interest savings account allows the money that you’re saving to grow faster than it would at a normal bank. Best of all, just like a normal bank your money is protected.
Bill Management Booklet
If we’re being honest paying bills is probably the least exciting thing about being an adult. That’s why I put together a guide that will help you save money on bills – All of them.
The Bill Management Booklet is a comprehensive guide to not only saving money but optimizing your monthly expenses so they work for you, not the other way around.
I’ve put the everything written in the Bill Management Booklet into practice, every tip has been tested and proven to save you money on your bills.
Money Management Spreadsheet
Organizing your finances is the first step you need to take action to achieve your financial goals.
I show you how to create a system where you ensure all your bills are paid on time, you set aside money to save every month, along with creating an account you can use to grow your money without thinking about it. The best part is it works automatically with minimal input from you.
