Money Hacks to Simplify Your Life
Life is nothing if not busy, so we often can't find the time we need to take care of financial tasks, whether big or small. Consider these ways to save time.
Modernize
Many financial institutions have smartphone apps that let you do almost everything from getting statements to making deposits. But if you don't trust the apps yet, consider checking out how today's ATM machines let you take withdrawals, make deposits and more.Shopping is also faster online, but even major brick-and-mortar retailers are reducing checkout times with do-it-yourself checkout scanners. Also explore apps that simplify your budgeting, track your expenses and organize multiple investment accounts.
Automate
If you're like many people, you use direct deposit for your paychecks. Why not ask your employer or financial institution to automatically put a portion of them into savings? You might also automate your 401(k) contributions to increase when you receive a pay raise and rebalance your portfolio periodically. And if you don't pay your bills online yet, consider this option.Bundle Services
Most insurance companies will give you a discount if you buy multiple policies from them, such as home and auto insurance. If you have multiple credit cards, consider using only one low-interest rate card. While on the subject of credit cards, consider those that offer rebates and cash back (along with low interest rates). Review other service providers for internet, phone, cable, and all your apps. Eliminate less-used services and find savings by bundling others.Prudential Advisors is a brand name of The Prudential Insurance Company of America and its subsidiaries.
