[AD] Taking Control Of My Finances With Money Dashboard

When you are self employed the one most overriding factor is if you don’t work you don’t earn any money and that became all the more apparent during the pandemic of the last six months.

When COVID-19 first appeared in the UK and we were put into a national lockdown one of my initial thoughts besides staying safe was if I can’t work how are we going to survive financially and pay the bills. As a married couple we are very good financially, but it can always be improved and the pandemic has without question highlighted that it’s so important to stay on top of our money.

So when I recently approached by Money Dashboard to try trial and review there personal finance and budgeting app. I thought to myself yes that is something I definitely want to try and hopefully organise my finances in a better situation.

We live in a world nowadays of card payment for just about everything whether that’s in the shops or online. I grew up in a world where you would pay cash for everything so you always knew how much money you, but nowadays with the constant use of card it’s more difficult to know exactly how much money you have without having to constantly sign into your bank account.

This can all be eliminated by using Money Dashboard because you can link up all your cards such as debit, credit or even store cards which will show you where and how you spending your money.
