I love saving money and investing. I was a senior in high school when I got into investing money. We had to do a class assignment that involved us investing money. I loved it because it was a game to me, and I like money so I found it very interesting. A year later I downloaded the stash app and started investing money into different companies. I earned over $100 in just a few weeks. I also got the Robinhood app which helped me invest as well. I liked the Stash app a little better because I could invest as little as $1. Whereas with Robinhood the different companies cost a different amount of money. This article gives you the name of different money-saving apps and apps you can use to invest money. All of these apps have really helped me manage my money.

Digit

Have you ever struggled to save money? Well, now there is an easier way, with Digit. Digit helps you save money easily without any hassle. All you have to do is link your bank account, and Digit analyzes your income and spending patterns to learn how much is safe to save. Every few days, Digit automatically transfers money from your bank account into your digit account to go towards your goal. Digit starts with small amounts at a time, such as 2$-5, but builds up as it gets to know your spending habits. It also alarms you when you have upcoming bills. If your phone bill is due, or your Hulu bill is due Digit will remind you so you should never be late with a payment again.

Truebill

Truebill is an app that lets you know about your monthly subscriptions, and how much you spend altogether. It can also track your spending for the month. The point of Truebill is to see how much you spend so you can save money.

Albert

Albert is actually a lot like Digit, but it gives you a loan. it will give you up to $100. No credit check and you only pay back what they give you. You can pay $4.99 and get your money in minutes, or you can pay nothing and wait 3 days for your money to go into your account. Unlike Digit you can invest money, but you have to get genius Albert which is $6 a month. Albert still lets you set a goal to save money like Digit.

Acorns

Acorns is a money-saving app that rounds up your money and automatically saves it for you. I personally have saved up over $100 with this app. Say you buy something for $5.54, Acorns will round it up and take the rounded up money and set it aside for you. I personally have saved over $100 using this app. You can also get an acorns debit card and put money on that as well. You can choose to do a reoccurring payment of as little as $5

Stash

Stash is an app that helped you invest money, and it is personally my favorite app. With Stash, you can pick any company you want and invest as little as $1, and overtime that $1 can turn into $100. When you want to cash your money out all you have to do is sell your shares for however much you want, then it will go into your personal portfolio. After it is in your personal portfolio you can cash it out to your bank account and you are good to go.

Robinhood

Robinhood is another investing app that I use. It isn’t like Stash where you can invest $1. With Robinhood different companies cost different amounts, so a really big company like Amazon can cost over $100. Whereas a little company like Gopro can cost $10. Robinhood shows you charts of the company to see when the stock has gone down or up. Stash doesn’t do that. Robinhood is very easy to use and will make you a lot of money if used correctly.
