Best Money Apps, Online Banks & Educational Resources of 2023

Ever feel like a deer caught in headlights when it comes to managing your finances? You are not alone! We've all stood at that crossroads, but today, I'm venturing down the path of financial clarity. We're discussing the crème de la crème of money tools and apps that help you stay on top of your budget, like Monarch and You Need a Budget. I also shake up conventional banking wisdom as I highlight why it's worth considering online banks like Ally Bank and VARO and why avoiding monthly fees can be a game-changer for your financial health. Remember how we all used to believe in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus? It’s time to debunk another myth: that all banks are created equal. I’ve got news for you: they're not. Drawing on my personal experiences, we examine the features that make an online bank a true ally in your financial journey. We’re not just talking about fee structures or interest rates. We’re talking about aligning your financial values with your bank’s. Plus, for the lovebirds out there, we chat about the unsung benefits of joint accounts. I'm also thrilled to share our favorite books and podcasts, sources of knowledge that fuel my passion for financial literacy. From the timeless wisdom in "The Millionaire Next Door" and "The Wealthy Gardener" to the fresh perspectives from podcasts like "Stacking Benjamins" and "Afford Anything," I'm pointing you toward resources that will empower you to make informed financial decisions.
