Your financial freedom all depends on you. That might sound daunting, but don't let it stress you out! One Goal is here to help! From its easy drag and drop transactions, clean and clear user interface, and a simple— yet powerful— overview, you will take control of your money and be on your way to financial freedom. To get the most success out of One Goal, we suggest following these three tips:
This is the single most important financial advice anyone could receive. Controlling your money starts with the ability to check where it is going on a day to day basis! One Goal helps you see where your accounts are, what bills are coming up, which categories need help, or if you have any extra money in your dining category for some Chick-Fil-A.
When checking your budget daily, you should also be categorizing all of your transactions to get a more accurate picture of your finances. If you haven’t checked your One Goal for a little while, the transactions can build up from a molehill into a mountain. When you are consistent, you are less likely to ditch your budget at the first sign of setback.
Tip: Download the iOS or Android app - and turn on Push Notifications, so that you can be alerted anytime new uncategorized transactions are in One Goal.
Every transaction should be put into some sort of category. If you have a catch-all category, it is hard to calculate how much you actually need for the week or month. Categorizing your transactions regularly will also help you see if any of your categories have extra money that can go towards your One Goal.
When you break a category in One Goal (it'll explode 💥), you'll have the option to move money from another category in order to balance out the broken category. We highly suggest moving money from another spending category, rather than pulling from your income. You've already set a plan for how you'll be spending your income, so if you pull from income it will mess up your long term plan.
One Goal is an amazing resource that can help you live your life without financial worry. Take advantage of it! These three tips are only suggestions, but if followed, they will help ensure your success with using One Goal.
