Hey everyone and thanks for joining me this week. My name is Laura Adams and I've

been writing and hosting Money Girl since 2008.

I'm a personal finance author, speaker, and consumer advocate

and my mission is to give you the knowledge, resources,

and motivation to manage money the best way possible and create a richer life.

I really hope you're doing okay and you're cautiously starting to enjoy more activities

outside of your home, depending of course on the coronavirus guidelines where you live.

I'm in Florida and was able to get my hair done last week, which felt like such a luxury,

even while wearing a mask.

My salon is taking lots of precautions,

so that felt good, and I really wanted to support them.

So this week, I am pulling a show out of the archives for you about some of my favorite

personal finance tools for managing money, budgeting, and investing. Check out these amazing programs and apps and see how they can help you.

And I'll be back next week with a brand new show. All right, today's show is about using

personal finance tools.

Taking control of your personal finances is pretty simple in theory.

But if you find that you're struggling, maybe it's with budgeting, saving, or investing,

you just may need to try a new tool. That could be the ticket to making better decisions

and improving your financial success. So in this podcast, I'm going to review eight of the best personal finance tools

that I know of to help you make sense of your money, stay organized, and to achieve your financial goals.

As always, you don't need to jot anything down while you're listening because the

notes for this and every show, plus the full archive of podcasts are in the Money Girls
