Maintaining Better Control Over Your Spending - Most people don’t leave their homes or workplaces without at least one type of mobile technology – if not two or three. This “always wired” environment is good for more than just staying in constant contact with friends, family and co-workers, and for updating your social networking statuses. It can also help you get a handle on your finances by putting the power of mobile computing at your fingertips. – Bridget McCrea(Photo: Getty Images/STOCK)
