I am thrilled to introduce my friend and all around great guy, Rob Galloway. Rob is husband, baseball coach and father to three awesome kiddos! He graduated from St. Ambrose University with Honors in 2016 and has been with COUNTRY Financial for 13 years this October. During his career with COUNTRY Financial he has reached All-American Status 8 years (Top 100 in the company) and reached Executive club in 2011 (Top 50 in the company) He also has received Honor Roll recognition 8 years, as well helping more than 4 families per month, 12 months consecutively with life insurance needs. A huge accomplishment was reaching Master Agent status in 2013, 2016, and 2018. This award goes to less than 30 representatives in the company each year. He is licensed in Illinois, Iowa, and Nevada to sell life, health, property casualty products as well as being a Registered Representative with COUNTRY Capital Management Company. You can find Rob on Facebook, Instagram, or email him at rob.galloway@countryfinancial.com   This Acorns app is great for saving money, when you think you don't have any extra to save. Basically, it's linked to your account and every time to use your debit card, it rounds up your purchase to the nearest dollar and saves it for you. I think you'll be surprised how quickly the change adds up! This is perfect timing since the holidays are right around the corner! When I researched the app a little further, it looks like it also helps you invest your money and a few other pretty cool functions. It's definitely worth checking out!   The Everydollar app is the Dave Ramsey budgeting app that I was hearing from several friends that they use and love. Some friends use the free version, which you manually enter in your money spent in each category, and some use the paid version that links to your account and automatically updates your spending. This is the app I plan to start using ASAP to get back on track with budgeting. I'll keep you guys posted on how I like it!   I would like to try the paid version, since it's so inexpensive. No more time spent entering paper receipts or checking your bank account. Simply log in to view recent spending and drag transactions to your budget categories. All new users receive a free 15-day trial. I believe the cost is $99 per year.   Here are more links to some great budgeting apps that were recommended to me.
