Managing your finances is the single most challenging and complex aspect of modern adulthood. The simple act of balancing your income and expenses can be a time-consuming practice. It's important to keep track of your bills, groceries, expenses, subscriptions, and incidental purchases. You probably want a little savings or debt repayment at the end of the month. You may be saving for a specific goal or trying to keep certain expenses under control. We are all wrapped up in the constant work of money management. Thank goodness we have tech, like receiving texts from your bank, because it used to be even more time-consuming.

Imagine the years before electronic transaction logs when people still had to balance their checkbooks hands. People used to comb through carbon copies of their checks to make sure checks written didn't exceed the money in the bank. We used to keep paper receipts to have a record of expenses and bills paid. Now, we have mobile apps and web portals that do all that for us, and banking is only getting easier for the new generations. Today, you can even receive texts from your bank making mobile and online banking even easier.

Let's dive into why and how to benefit from texting with your bank.
