succeed in higher education.” Thank you to Anna Brink, Kaitlyn Ekart-

The Best Budgeting Apps to
Download in 2019,
According to The Balance
1. Best Overall: Mint
“Mint is one of the oldest and best-known budgeting apps. Owned by
Intuit, the same company that makes Quickbooks and TurboTax, Mint
offers an array of features to help you track and manage your money
from a giant list of banks, credit card issuers, brokerages, lenders and other financial institutions.” 2. Best to Keep from Overspending: PocketGuard “As the name implies, PocketGuard can help guard you against spending too much. This budgeting app links to all of your financial accounts and helps you track your spending compared to your budget throughout the month.” 3. Best for Type-A Personalities: You Need A Budget “You Need a Budget has a cult-like following of die-hard fans who lovingly refer to the app as YNAB. YNAB takes a unique approach to budgeting apps. Rather than rely on traditional budgeting buckets, you build your budget based on your income, giving every dollar a job in your budget. Those jobs include everything from living expenses to debt payments to savings and investments. Leaving no dollar unaccounted for forces you to think about every dollar you spend.” 4. Best for Just Budgeting: Wally “Wally isn’t the easiest app to navigate compared to some others on this list, but it works well for one thing: budgeting. This app helps you track your income, expenses and offers you a snapshot of your remaining budget to help you avoid overspending.” 5. Best for Cash Style Budgeting: Mvelopes “Cash budgeting lends itself well to envelope budgeting, a style of budgeting where you put cash in envelopes for different spending categories, and when each envelope is empty, your budget for that category is all spent for the month. This is a bit more challenging with credit and debit cards, but Mvelopes makes it easy to follow cash style budgets in a digital budgeting world.” 6. Best App Tied to a Bank Account: Simple “Simple is more than a budgeting app, it is an entire bank account that replaces your old checking account and has tons of useful budgeting features built in. When your budget and your bank live in the same app, it is much easier to manage and keep everything under control because you only have one place to visit to view and manage your money.”
