Money is the one subject everyone can use help with. Whether you’re rolling in dough or struggling to get by, you can always improve your financial life with sound advice from experts. Luckily, with the spread of apps and podcasts, that kind of advice is easier (and cheaper) to get than ever. Below are the best apps for money management, and the best podcasts as well.
The Wallet App by budgetbakers keeps track of what you spend. But it also does a hell of a lot more. You can make a budget, program in your monthly income and recurring expenses, and sync info across all of your devices.
Like Wallet, Spendbook is a budgeting app. One of the best things to recommend it is its visual nature. As you’re tracking expenses, you can take a picture of the receipt and add it to the information. Expense categories are broken down into subcategories, so you can easily keep track of whether you took a train, plane, or automobile to that important meeting.
This is easily one of the best apps for money management. As the name implies, however, it’s available only for Android. It’s easy to use, comprehensive, and even comes with a built-in calculator.
Bitcoin isn’t just for hackers anymore. More and more people are finding the virtual currency convenient for online transactions. Bitcoin Wallet is an all-in-one app that allows you to both spend and purchase Bitcoin. You even have the option of remotely disabling it if your phone gets swiped.
If you’re like most of us, you mean to save money, but it somehow never happens. Digit is an easy way to start saving. You set up a Digit savings account that’s linked to your checking account, and every few days the app makes small transfers to savings from checking. It even “learns” your spending habits, so you can avoid those terrible overdraft fees.
Whether you’re just getting into real estate or are an experienced flipper, you’re guaranteed to learn something from BiggerPockets, the premiere podcast about real estate investing. And if the show isn’t enough for you, the hosts have a huge social network to go along with it.
This show covers all aspects of financial markets, from stocks to mutual funds to equities and beyond. It’s an easy, and sometimes even fun, way to educate yourself about investing.
You’ve read the book, now hear the radio show! Host Stephen Dubner brings you “the hidden side of everything” in this extremely popular show that uses the principles of economics to give a counter-intuitive spin to many of life’s mysteries.
Marketplace is by far the best financial news show out there, podcast or otherwise. It’s informative and serious, but also not afraid to have a little fun. If you want to stay on top of global news about money, this is the best way to do it.
Sometimes you just don’t have an hour to devote to a podcast. If you’re in that position, this is the show for you. It lives up to its name by providing under ten minute episodes on a stunning variety of subjects. So no matter how busy you are, your excuse for avoiding financial education just went out the window.
