A mobile app can help you stay on top of your finances on-the-go and take away some of the tedious work of maintaining your budget.
You can sync your financial accounts — including your credit and investment accounts — to Mint to keep track of your cash flow and overall net worth. The automation means you don't have to think about where you swiped your debit card throughout the day. Your transactions are recorded without any manual input.
Mint then takes your spending history and helps you create a budget based on your past expenses. The app comes loaded with a bunch of default budget categories, but you can customize it by naming subcategories that fit your unique needs — whether that's a category for painting supplies to fulfill your artistic inclinations or a spending bucket specifically for boozy brunches.

Need to Know: Budget bills pass Capitol, the auto show's shift, and more from the week in
THE NEWS: The North American International Auto Show will move its indoor-outdoor show to fall 2021 after canceling the 2020 edition of the Detroit show because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
