Resources
As a partner on your financial journey, I recommend the following resources to give you a boost.*
Track your spending: Mint.com
Mint.com changed my life. It syncs with all of your financial accounts so you can see your full financial picture in one place. It allows you to easily assign your purchases to categories so you can track exactly where your money is going.
Best Savings Account: Axos Bank – Savings
I am constantly looking for the best rate on savings accounts, and I recently switched to Axos Bank. It is consistently one of the highest yielding savings accounts.
Best Checking Account: Axos Bank – Checking
Axos Bank also offers a high return in their rewards checking account. Get a good rate if you have direct deposit, and get a great rate if you happen to use your debit card 15 times per month.
Shop for the best rate on home or auto insurance: Gabi.com
Gabi looks at your current insurance coverage and then provides multiple quotes for the exact coverage. It takes less than five minutes to get multiple quotes, and the process is 100% online.
Get massive savings on your cell phone bill: Red Pocket Mobile
Red Pocket provides cell service that uses the same towers as the big three service providers, but at a fraction of the cost. (With Red Pocket you choose whether to purchase service on Verizon towers, AT&T towers, or T-Mobile towers.) With a little bit of effort up front to switch, you’ll probably save more than 50% compared to your current rate.
