We connected with Zaiba, a Canadian financial analyst, to learn about her experience using Mint, and how it helped her and her husband achieve their financial goals. Read on to know about his #Empowermint story.
I have always been extremely involved with my finances and budget, and majored in banking and finance in school. Budgeting is extremely important to me as it helps me make wise financial decisions as well as helps me understand how I can cut down on my spending as well as how I get the most out of my savings. Should be raised
I’ve been looking for a good budgeting app for a while when I found an article on Mint. I first started using Mint six months ago to track my finances and budget (I wish I had found it earlier!) Using the app consistently helps my husband and I ensure That we stick to our budget, pay our monthly bills on time and still be able to save so that we can invest to generate higher income.
Mint helped my husband and I in many ways, most importantly saving up for faster repayment of our mortgage loan. When my husband and I bought our first home earlier this year, we wanted to keep track of all of our cash inflows and outflows and have an overall picture of our finances. Mint has been an incredible tool that has helped us understand our finances better and make informed decisions. Additionally, Mint has also helped us fund our new luxury car purchase, and save more for current and future investments. We use Mint daily, and take advantage of all the in-app features. I especially like the “spend less challenge,” as it motivates me to stay within my spending limit and reduce unnecessary and impulsive purchases.
My favorite part about the Mint app is that it links all my accounts in one place, giving me a clear picture of my overall financial situation. It helps inform my financial goals and track my spending, as I know which areas I need to focus on! Using Mint has helped me become more disciplined in making timely payments as well as saving more to achieve my goals.
Whatever your financial goal, Mint is a great tool that will not only help you measure your expenses, debts and income but will also help you understand and prioritize your financial needs and wants.
