Geezeo: A Community of Motivators
It’s easier to stick to your goals when you have the support of others behind you. This is why we see community sites built around weight-loss and health. The community helps to keep you motivated by seeing the progress of others. You can always tap into those within the community, experts, who can answer questions for you and help you stay on track. I talked about this concept when I gave you 7 ways to get up, get out and get something.
Geezeo is built around this same concept. The difference is that you will be using it to manage your finances instead of your weight. We all have financial goals: saving for retirement, a college fund, or even putting rims on the Bentley. Whatever you’re trying to accomplish with your money, Geezeo aims to help.
You have all the basic features of other money management applications: pulling in financial data from your bank accounts and credit cards, keeping track of and categorizing all your transactions, setting budgets based on your goals, and many other features.
The community aspect comes into play with things like:
- Joining groups
- Sharing goals and your progress toward them
- Sharing your financial confessions
- And a public feed which gives you a real-time look at what’s going on in the community
Putting a social spin on money management is a cool concept. Everything about money is boring except spending it, so why not interact with a community to help you manage it? There are experts and experienced people available to help you stay on track. If you don’t currently have a system to manage your money or you’re not satisfied with what you have, give it a shot.
Did I mention Great Geezeo Bailout?
