These tools can help you stay on track, get out of debt, better your current situation, manage your finances, and much more.
Budget Builder –
This free online budgeting tool helps you create a realistic budget that is tailored to your spending habits. You can tweak your budget and experiment to find a winning strategy. Building a budget is the first step toward finding out where all of your money is going each month and how to save more money each month. Budget Builder is an easy step-by-step free tool that makes creating a budget really simple.
Goal Tracker –
Whether you want to purchase a house or vehicle, save for retirement, start a vacation fund, get out of debt or pay down those student loans, the Goal Tracker tool can help you reach your savings goals. Just enter how much money you need to save in order to reach each goal, set a deadline date, and then manage your savings history. It’s super easy to stick to your savings plan and to see your overall progress.
Some examples of goals that you could create are; buy a house, save for a vacation, buy a car, save for retirement, pay off credit card debt, save for college books, etc. Also, don’t forget about periodic expenses which occur on an irregular basis throughout the year. Examples may include quarterly car insurance payments, school taxes, local real estate taxes, water and sewage bills, or vehicle maintenance costs such as inspections.
Goals give you something to look forward to and that will ultimately help you save money. The new Goal Tracker tool will help you out along the way. Keep saving that money, creating new goals and enjoying the rewards of using this free goal tracking system. With each goal that you accomplish, your financial success story grows!
