💸Finances, if left to chance, grows cumbersome and complex. What are some methods you use to keep your finances manageable? Feel free to list services and links to cool apps📲 and sites. (Don't worry, if I think it's too spammy, I'll delete👊). Can you share a case where it pays to be more complex or where complexity over time is actually worth it?
