Tell us a bit about yourself

‍

I'm a single dad living in Lower Hutt. I work full-time and have my son with me all the time. My goal is to provide him with a future free from financial difficulties, which is why I actively manage my finances.

‍

What's your money story?

‍

My goal is to achieve financial freedom. I used to be a passive investor, but that approach wasn't sufficient for me. So, I decided to adopt a more aggressive strategy. I conduct thorough research and ensure that I diversify my investments. Although having a single income makes it challenging to allocate funds, with careful planning, it's definitely possible. Additionally, I now invest funds for my son as well.

‍

What drew you to BudgetBuddie?

I am looking for an app that provides insights into my spending and allows me to track my expenses using a budgeting feature. I want to monitor my spending to avoid overspending. One of the most appealing features is the automatic categorization of transactions, which makes the app more attractive to me. I don't want to spend my time manually adding and managing transactions.
