My Personal Finance Tools
Google Sheets: You can’t go wrong with a spreadsheet. I have a master spreadsheet which I use to track my monthly spending, which stocks I’m buying or selling for the year, and any large sums of money I owe to (or am owed by) friends and family. I also keep a separate tab which has been tracking my net worth since I was 20. Click the link for a free copy.
Intuit Mint (Monarch Money): Because Mint got shut down, I transferred my information to Monarch. In my opinion, they’re the best alternative on the market and have been very supportive of ex-Mint users.
Discover Credit: My first credit card was the Student IT card. The company has served me well ever since. If you’re looking for a high interest savings account, they also have a pretty high APY for their online banking. It’s where I keep most of my savings.
FreeTaxUSA: Hard to beat free! They make it really simple to input all the information yourself. Federal Taxes are free, but state taxes will usually run you about $15, and small business filing can vary in price. Still, compared to TurboTax, this is a steal! I use it every year.
Vanguard: I have my Roth IRA with them. They’re pretty straightforward and although the site can sometimes be a pain to navigate, they really explain every transaction you make before you commit. It’s fine.
Charles Schwab: I do my stock-picking with them. I like their site a lot, and it’s very easy to research different companies. They’re really good on the buying and selling of stocks as well, with email notifications if anything comes up.
