The 22seven app has been around for a while now and consolidates all your bank balances in one place. It also lets you invest, and in a way, helps you fund your dreams. The app lets you choose a goal, be it a holiday, studying, starting a business, buying a car or house, or simply investing; and then encourages you to work towards making it a reality. You set a time frame and amount, and it lets you know what to save monthly or add to it whenever you want. It’s a great step to solidify your plans, track your goal, and spend guilt-free.
