We all spend a lot of our time thinking and worrying about money. If we’re not thinking about how to earn it, we’re trying to work out how to spend it or save it. But if thinking about money all the time is boring you or even taking over your life, you don’t have to keep doing it. You might think that means living a monastic life, going off-grid and giving up material things, but it doesn’t have to. With the right tech tools, you can keep your finances healthy and even plan for the future but hardly ever think about your money and how your finances are doing.

Automatic Saving

Saving can be tough for many of us. You want to save a consistent amount each month, but you might not earn the same every month or your expenses might be different. You might have lots of things that you want to save for in both the long-term and short-term, but you don’t know where to start. One of the best ways to save this is to make sure your saving is automatic. If you know you can save a consistent amount each month, you can easily set up an automatic payment. If not, you can use an app that will help you save by working out how much you can afford to put away.

Passive Income Tools

Earning passive income is a great way to have some money coming in without having to give much thought to it. While most forms of passive income do require you to pay at least a little attention to them, they generally don’t need you to constantly monitor them. There are lots of types of tech that can help you to bring in passive income, including websites and online advertising, social media and various online channels for distributing both digital and physical products.

Trading and Investment Tech

If you’re interested in trading or making some investments, you might be put off by how much of your energy and attention they require. But if you use the right tools, you can forget about them and get on with your life. Using the right investment apps or algorithmic trading software will mean you can set things up and let them run while you’re doing other things. Of course, you will need to check up on everything now and again to make sure that everything is working as it should and make any changes.

Budgeting and Expense Tracking

Even seemingly simple things like keeping an eye on the money that goes in and out of your bank account can play on your mind a lot. If you worry about your budget a lot, you might like to use an app that tracks all of your expenses and your income. Some tools can even offer you advice based on your earning and spending habits, and a previous app called Penny even had a chatbot that you could use if you had any questions.

There’s no need to think about money all the time. Set up your finances to manage themselves and you won’t have to do it.
