When it comes to managing your finances, there is no shortage of apps trying to get you to link your bank account and help you get your money right. However, budgeting looks a lot different when you are a retiree. Rather than relying on a paycheck every week or two, many retirees are depending on Social Security, pensions, and retirement account withdrawals (or a combination of income sources). Then, they have to make that money stretch throughout the entire month. While some seniors may assume their budgeting days are over, that’s far from being true. But there are a ton of tools available to you outside of that spreadsheet on your computer, though.

That said, you want to find an app that will truly help you manage your money. So, it’s important to know what features are must-haves. Here’s a look at seven features that deserve your attention the most.
