We all know that this time of year presents some financial challenges. Summer was lit 🔥🔥and we did sooo much to feed our hot boy/hot girl vibes. BUT we also spent sooooo much money!

I’m sure the question now is: “How do I hold on to the coin I have left to last me through the holidays?” I have a few solutions for you…

Favorite Shopping apps in no particular order (Download links are iPhone-biased…teehee)

CashApp: Per their website,

“It’s Friday. You wake up to a $15 Cash App notification. A pal paid you back for that pizza you shared. Your balance now reads $172.30. You use your new money to get $1 off coffee with your personalized Cash Card. You even hit up the ATM after 5PM. Direct deposit hits. Do you buy Bitcoin, or do you cash out instantly to another bank? With Cash App, you decide.”
