I tend to lose track of my dining and grocery spending, so I absolutely love how easy FinanceWorks makes it to track spending and set up goals and alerts. Because I’m a credit union nerd, I took my average Starbucks spending over the past few months (calculated so effortlessly by FinanceWorks) and crunched the numbers in a savings calculator with a 6% return. A pretty tame average of $33/month turns into $63,000 in forty years. Ouch. Frothy coffee doesn’t seem so comforting anymore….
