As college students, we’re notorious for doing a poor job at tracking our finances. Credit card companies know this, which explains why we there is so much credit card marketing directed at us.
Quicken Online is now free. This is a great way to track your finances for busy college students. Simply sign up for an account, type in your online account details, and Quicken Online will automatically compile and categorize your transactions. You can also get reports on how much you are spending per category, how much you are spending per payee, and what is your in/out cash flows.
It’s a great service – easy to setup and easy to use. I’d highly recommend it, especially if you don’t currently track your finances.
