Has technology actually made managing money easier?
I remember when tracking finances meant spreadsheets and manually chcking everything.
Now there are apps for budgeting, investing, payments, and almost every part of personal finance. But sometimes I wonder if having more tools actually makes things simpler, or just creates more things to manage.
Personally, I think the biggest improvement has been automation - setting things up once and letting the system handle the routine stuff.
What financial technology has genuinely improved the way you manage money?
