Millennials and Gen Z are the most likely to use mobile banking apps—here’s why, plus budgeting tips
While a mobile banking app is a great asset, it’s not necessarily a one-stop shop to managing your finances because it may be limited to the accounts you have at one bank. If you have multiple accounts from different banks and want a holistic way to manage your money, consider creating a budget spreadsheet or signing up for a budgeting app like Mint[3] or You Need a Budget[4].
In order to create your own budget method with similar functionality to an app, following these five steps:
- Calculate your net income
- List monthly expenses
- Label fixed and variable expenses
- Determine average monthly costs for each expense
- Make adjustments
