Put simply, Mint is a way to make sure your spending stays within-budget. It makes tracking your credit card/loan balances and spending habits super intuitive and easy. Mint makes it simple to become more financially responsible. A few benefits to using a budgeting app include tracking payments, avoiding overspending, tracking debt, meeting savings goals, and making more informed financial decisions! It’s a highly recommended way to reduce your spending and make your budgeting more effective, and I can’t stress enough how much of a difference it can make.

I don’t own any crypto. Should I invest in it?

Cryptocurrency is very volatile. In fact, it’s one of the most unstable investments you can buy. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad investment, but you should be educated before going in. Your portfolio can double in a few minutes, it’s true, but the opposite can also happen; your portfolio could be cut in half on a bad day. Make sure that you are well-educated and understand where the scams and pitfalls of cryptocurrency are before you invest.
