And maybe you’ve tried setting your alarm to some ungodly hour in the hopes that you’ll unlock your hidden productivity…

Let’s be honest: keeping track of our finances sounds about as fun as cleaning out the junk drawer. Most of us are juggling enough as it is—work, relationships, errands, laundry that seems to multiply on its own. Adding “weekly finance review” to that mix? It sounds exhausting. But here’s the…
