Financial apps making it easier than ever to save

Everyone wants to save in theory, but doing it is harder than you think. In the age of “there’s an app for that,” you can bet your bottom dollar that there’s an app to help you save too. In fact, there’s dozens — and how you like to save may match with different apps. Some apps help you collect your spare change and invest it. Others take that same change and apply it to your student loans, or into a savings account. Some apps even estimate how much money you “don’t need” and withdraws it from your account and sets it aside as a rainy day fund, or to help save up for a big splurge.
