5 Financial Mobile Apps For Believers

The best thing about savings is the peace and calm you experience in the face of an emergency. We agree that the love of money is the root of all evil, but have you experienced lack? The lack of money is the beginning of depression. 

Asides that proper savings can reduce anxiety, panic and make your concentration level better, it helps you plan for the future. In Luke 14:28 the Bible says, "If one of you is planning to build a tower, you sit down first and figure out what it will cost, to see if you have enough money to finish the job". 

But to effectively save you need to be diligent. Proverbs 10:4-5; "Being lazy will make you poor, but hard work will make you rich. A sensible person gathers the crops when they are ready; it is a disgrace to sleep through the time of harvest". The benefits of savings come from consistency. Proverbs 13:11; "The more easily you get your wealth, the sooner you will lose it. The harder it is to earn, the more you will have".

With the advancement of technology, there are mobile apps that makes savings even easier. You need a money saving app if: 

i) You find it challenging to plan out your savings.

ii) You consistently forget that you need to save 

iii) You need a more efficient way to keep your money

iv) Your savings have become too large and you do not want them in your usual bank account.
