Adaptu's Financial Shape-Up

When it comes to our family’s finances,  it’s often hard to keep track of checking, savings, and investment accounts all at once.

Adaptu is a personal finance website and app (for both the iPhone and Droid) that not only helps users manage their money, but showcases how upcoming expenses will affect their overall cash flow, as well as a host of other great features. It’s a great tool to get your finances in order or to upgrade your current system to manage them.

Our family just recently took a wonderful vacation to Texas, so we have decided that we would like to start saving up now so we can enjoy another great getaway together next summer.  I’m participating in the Adaptu Financial Shape-Up Contest, along with several other bloggers, in order to reach my financial goal of saving up for a summer vacation.

Adaptu has some great features that I love, like spending reports, bill reminders for when life gets super busy, and even modules to monitor our investments.  If you participate in mileage and point rewards programs, Adaptu can keep up with all of that, too!

I hope you will join me in setting a financial goal and checking out Adaptu to see how it can help you reach the goals you want.

 

WIN IT:

Do you have a financial goal you are working towards?  Sign up for Adaptu (it’s free to get started!) and leave me a comment telling me what your favorite Adaptu feature is.  One lucky reader will win $50!  Giveaway ends August 31, 2012 at 11:59 PM Central.  18+ and void where prohibited.

 

I am participating in a compensated blogger campaign for Adaptu.  All opinions are my own.

    I signed up and I also love the monthly bill pay calendar. I use a real calendar at home but one that I can access on my phone would be a great tool.

    We’re working towards paying down all of our debt! But the reason I switched from Mint.com to Adaptu is the awesome cash flow forecast features you have. I love the calendar function!!!
