Your personal finance wizard!
Big time earner or not, my new friend Wally can help you keep
your finances in tip top shape!
What can Wally do that you can’t? Honestly, you could probably
do what Wally does, but he’s much more efficient and he’s
available for Android and iOS.
However, Wally has a solution to this problem. Next time you
make a purchase, ask for the receipt but rather than adding it
to your epic paper trail, use Wally to scan and save the receipt.
He’ll be able to use this to match against your activity and even
have them ready to go for tax time. Easy peasy!
Wally can monitor your activity on another level.
You begin tracking and categorising all of your expenses (every
cent counts). For example, Wally knows that I spent $4.20 this
morning at Bounce Café on ‘food and drink’. This is Wally’s
way of helping you stay on top of where all your money is
going. He’ll even monitor your activity to help you forecast your
savings.
Best of all, Wally will help you set a financial goal and
help you achieve it!
So you’d like to save X amount of money by X time so that you
could start your own business, go on a holiday or just create a good
buffer? Well, Wally can help you budget for this and help keep you
in line. He’ll help you create daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly
spending allowances and will keep track of your progress.
‘Would you like a copy of your receipt?’ Wally does.
If you’re anything like myself, chances are you’d rather not take
your receipt because it’s likely you’ll put it in your wallet only for
it never to be seen again.
What’s my one piece of advice for anyone trying to turn their
finances around themselves? Download Wally.
