Have you ever heard the saying, \u201c<\/span>You get what you pay fo<\/i><\/span>r\u201d? <\/span>This statement is essentially inferring that you if you want quality, then you\u2019ll have to throw down some cash. <\/span>I used to believe that, but I don\u2019t anymore. Over the last 7+ years, I\u2019ve discovered more and more free money apps, tools and websites that have helped me on my journey to financial freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, you read that right. Most of my favorites have been <\/span>completely free.<\/b><\/p>\n

Oh, yeah … the best price out there my friends.<\/p>\n

Yes, there are quite often other services that are being sold in addition to the free ones, but hey \u2026 if you don\u2019t want them, don\u2019t buy them. And if you do, now you at least trust their offering after digging their free service. It\u2019s like a test trial.<\/span><\/p>\n

7 Free Money Apps To Grow Wealth<\/h2>\n

Here are 7 free money apps that will help you save more money, grow your wealth, and protect your family.<\/p>\n

Personal Capital<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

Nicole and I have been tracking our net worth since 2010<\/a> when Suze Orman helped us figure out that we were broke as a joke! We started at -$50,000 and now we're closing in on $750,000. That's an $800,000 swing in 8-years!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

We owe a lot of that success to simply tracking our net worth. Personal Capital<\/a> has served as incredible tool for this.<\/p>\n

You insert all of your account information including debts, cash accounts, investment accounts and even assets like your home and car (yes, even your car counts toward your net worth).<\/p>\n

There's even an easy-to-use app for checking in on your net worth goals throughout the year. We're shooting to be in the 2-comma club by 40!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow<\/span><\/h3>\n

I connected with this family empowering company after they sponsored my <\/span>weekly podcast<\/a><\/span>. Their mission to help families make smart financial decisions and protect their kids is right up my alley.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tomorrow's user-friendly app helps you <\/span>build your family's last will and testament for free<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 They also offer options for a family trust and affordable term life insurance as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mint<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

For the last 7 years, Nicole and I have used Mint to manage our monthly budgets. This free online system has helped us to reduce money fights, <\/span>pay off our $195,000 mortgage in 4 years<\/a> and plan for our family's future. <\/span><\/p>\n

Each month, we get together to complete our “budget party” using Mint<\/a>. We discuss the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What we spent and saved last month<\/li>\n
  2. How we're going to allocate our money this month<\/li>\n
  3. What events (birthdays, weddings, etc) we have coming up in the future<\/li>\n
  4. How we're tracking against our big\u00a0family financial goals<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. The progress of our investment accounts (529<\/a>, HSA<\/a>, 401k<\/a>, Roth IRA<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
