system,” which helps you plan for each dollar earned. When you’re paid, the app assists you in mapping out how much of the income you can spend in each category you

cards, 401(k)s, loans, and mortgages can all be tracked and monitored on Personal Capital. The app even offers a net worth and portfolio tracker to help you get more out of your money.
