Maybe you are good at creating a budget but find it hard prioritising what to spend your money on within your allotted funds. Check out Earmark. This app creates a list of the top 5 things you want to spend your money on. If you don’t buy the desired item you are congratulated and you can move that money into a savings account.

Some of these apps could make your life easier and your savings account bigger!
