Dreaming of that trip to Paris or finally buying a new car, but wondering how you'll be able to save enough money? Mint has the solution.

Mint is one of the most popular budgeting apps out there right now. Mint is free and available on iOS on the Apple App store and in the Google Play store for Android. It syncs your accounts, automates the budgeting process, and helps you save by allowing you to set saving and spending goals.

Creating goals can make saving and conquering debt more manageable.

The steps for each goal depend on the goal, but they are all very user-friendly.

For example if you select "Save for a rainy day" it will prompt you with questions like "how much do you want to save" and "when do you need it by." Then it will give you easy steps to reach your goal.
