Let’s face it, girls: sticking to a budget is easier said than done. Sure, it’s easy to keep your spending to a minimum if you’re not heading anywhere else aside from your workplace, but when you also have parties, movie dates, shopping trips, and other events penciled in your planner, you’ll find your expenses piling up faster than you can say “it’s time to save up.” Before you know it, you’re almost broke, and the next payday’s still a long way to go.

If you need a little help in the finance department, try listing down all your expenses every day, no matter how big or small they are. Better yet, keep track of them with one of these nifty budgeting apps: just enter your expenses, and they’ll do all the calculating for you. The best part? You don’t have to worry about having to shell out cash for them because you can download them for free! So get your smartphones and tablets ready, and tap away!
