My app of the week is MINT! It's the perfect app to help yourself budget your money for the new year.

My student loans literally just rolled in just in time for New Year's Day (awesome, I know), so I figured it was time to finally start budgeting my money. It's my first time living alone, I now have to pay for rent, cable, gym membership, LOANS and groceries so I can stay alive.

I have heard of before Mint during an economics class, and it's a simple, easy to use app that connects to your bank account (securely) that helps you to budget your money. You're able to edit, increase or decrease your budgets which to track exactly where your money is going.

I also have downloaded MINT BILLS which is it's own app, that helps you pay and track your bills on time. In addition, it helps set goals for yourself. For instance, I would like to have a girls trip to Miami, Mint Bills helped me set a goal in order to save.

MINT and MINT BILLS is free for both Apple and Android phones.
