8 Incredible Budgeting Apps: Take Control of Your Money and Supercharge Your Savings

Ohio Driver? Cancel your car insurance

Driving without car insurance is illegal, but if you do this, you’re not actually breaking the law.

This tool can help you see if you’re overpaying for car insurance in just a few clicks. You’d be shocked by the difference. $159 per month is what they wanted to charge me. I thought that was the best price, don’t even look anywhere else. Right? Wrong.

I used this tool and now I’m able to pay just $47 a month for two cars.Too many insurance companies do this. They push up our rates and make us pay even more. But if you want to try this tool and compare and potentially score same-day savings, here’s what to do:

1. Click the link below and enter your zip code, date of birth, and phone number.
2. Answer a few questions about your car’s make and model to get matched with top offers.
3. Choose the best quote for you and lock it in before rates go up.

Compare rates now and see if you could score same-day savings today!

I can hardly believe I waited so long to do this, but I’m glad I finally did. It only took me two minutes. Super fast. You have to trust me on this. Just try it out.

Get an extra $1,300 back every year with this account

What if I said that starting today, you’d get an extra $1,300 every year?³ <p>Estimated savings of $1,300/year are based on the sum of annual costs for comparable services: Monarch ($99), Magnifi ($132), annual AUM fees from services such as Wealthfront on $100k ($250), TurboTax ($219), and Trust & Will’s cost of a Trust ($499).</p> Sounds crazy, but this company called Origin could do just that for you.

Now … they aren’t handing out any actual money, technically speaking. But they’ve figured out subscribers to their all-in-one financial app save around $1,300 each year, when they bring their financial life under their one subscription.

Origin replaces nearly all your other money apps by bringing your financial accounts under one roof. Sign up here and securely connect the other accounts, and you’ll get a bird's-eye view of your net worth, spending, investments, real estate, equity, and more.

Honestly, you could probably even delete your other financial apps once you connect the accounts to Origin. It’s just that good. Plus, it goes beyond budgeting with estate planning, financial planning, and investing products to help you build wealth.

Get a free 7-day trial here, and get back as much as $1,300 every year.
