A harried working mother, Jenna Hartwell spends every minute juggling her career and her household. She doesn’t have a ton of free hours to investigate all her financial possibilities. Really, who does?
“Life gets hectic. Kids get sick constantly. They require so much,” said the mother of two little boys. “At the same time, I want to show up at work every day and do my best.”
It’s a lot to balance.
That’s why she installed LendingTree’s new app.
“It asked about my earnings, it asked about my monthly outlays, and then it worked its magic,” said Hartwell, an editorial manager at Savinly.
On one screen of her phone, the tool displays Hartwell’s credit score, cash flow and a glimpse at her potential financial path.
How the LendingTree App Can Improve Your Financial Outlook
Using the complimentary LendingTree app, you can:
- Track your credit score and discover areas to strengthen it.
- Monitor savings, investments and home equity so you can gauge progress toward your objectives.
- Receive alerts when there are chances to reduce big bills, such as your mortgage, insurance or student loan payments.
- Compare financial offers — including loans, insurance plans and credit cards — to secure better rates and cut costs.
The payoff came fast for Hartwell: Before long, the app identified a refinance option that could save her $44,000 on her mortgage. She was astonished.
“I was over the moon,” she said. “There’s so much I could do with that amount,” like sock it away for retirement or for her sons’ college funds.
“When I walk in the door after work, my kids want my time,” Hartwell added. “This app has been fantastic because it handled so much of the legwork I simply don’t have time for — and that’s time I can give to my family.”
