One of my top goals for 2012 is to get financially fit, and thanks to dozens of online services and mobile apps, it's easier than ever. Here are some of my tips and tricks for money management.
✓ Setup your budget, track your spending, and manage your bills online. I highly recommend Mint or LearnVest. Both are free and easy to use, woohoo! (Don't forget to download the apps on your phone)
✓ It's easy for bills to stack up and get lost on your desk, so go paperless! Nearly all credit cards and bank accounts have a paperless option, setup your accounts and opt for e-mail alerts instead.
✓ Take advantage of deal sites and online sales. Bookmark these bad boys on your browser and download them on your phone. Here are some of my favorites:
