Your finances and portfolio are what can make or break your future, and just like the DROID RAZR MAXX HD by Motorola, you want them to last a long, long time. Usually to get live streaming stock quotes, you have to continuously log into your stock brokerage account and launch some application that times-out for your protection. With the Google Finance app from the Google Play Store, you can set up portfolios to monitor your stocks with real-time streaming quotes, overall market activity and the latest news from the financial sector.
Another great free app, and a Google “Best of 2012” app finalist, Mint.com is the way to really get organized and make sure you’re getting the most bang from you bucks. Mint pulls in all your personal checking, savings, and credit card accounts into one place, so you can manage your money from anywhere. The app automatically categorizes transactions, tracks your cash spending with charts and graphs and will create a recommended budget based on your activity. The app also acts as a financial valet of sorts, sending you email or text alerts about upcoming bills, fees, low balances, strange activity and more.
If you’re worried about losing or misplacing your DROID RAZR MAXX HD and having your financial data available, you can rest easy knowing the app is passcode protected. For added peace of mind, you can simply log onto your Mint.com account from any computer and deactivate device access from your profile page with one easy click.
You owe it to your future self to manage your finances with the utmost care, and with these apps, you’re well on your way to a comfortable retirement.
Please note that Mint currently connects to US and Canadian financial institutions only.
