Student Loan Refinancing
LendKey
Looking to refinance your student loans without jumping through a bunch of hoops? If you want to go directly to the source, aka the lender, then LendKey is going to be your best bet (for most). LendKey is typically a preferred student loan refinance provider that offers some of the best rates out there!
Best Investing Tools
Acorns
Let your spare change go to work for you. Since most of us hardly use cash, we don’t have spare change in a glass jar anymore. Well, luckily Acorns will invest your “Spare Change” for you! we use Acorns. Every time you buy something your spare change is rounded up to the nearest dollar and invested for you.
M1 Investing
Investing made simple. If you happen to be new to investing (Like me) and you don't want to pay any fees, then M1 is a safe bet. M1 is one of the fastest-growing “Robo-Advisors” with over 13,000 reviews and counting! The coolest thing – you don't have to be an experienced investor, they will help you with that!
Robinhood
Robinhood is currently what I use. Why? Well, I got one free stock just for signing up. The best feature, in my opinion, is the watch list. If you use this link you will get a free stock and 1 in 200 gets an awesome stock such as Facebook or Apple!
Qoins
Round up every purchase and let the extra help pay off your debt! Qoins is a financial tool that allows you to pay down your debt, automatically. A similar concept to Acorns, Qoins rounds up everyday purchases to the nearest dollar and then applies the difference to a designated debt you want to pay off!
Financial Apps
Trim
Is it time to trim out some of the unnecessary spending? Trim will analyze your accounts to find recurring subscriptions and determine where you can save more money. Trim cancels subscriptions, negotiates your Comcast bill, finds you better car insurance, and more… all in the name of saving you money!
True Bill
Users who take advantage of TrueBill typically see their bills decrease by $60 a month, or $720 per year.
