Steven graduated from a local university, and applied for a local job. He worked really hard at his job, and made an honest living. However, Steven didn’t know how to manage his spending. Every month he would spend and spend and eventually his income would run out, without saving a dime. “I want to save more money!” He thought to himself. So he set out to turn his financial life around. To his luck, he found an app called Spentable. An app that allowed him to use the notification center to quickly add expenses to a predefined category. No typing, just choose a category, input a number, and press enter, all from the notification center. Steven soon saved up enough money to get himself an Apple Watch, which he used to enter his expenses through the Apple Watch Spentable app. He simply lifted his wrist, and in one single tap, he was in. His phone never left his pocket. Steven went on to get a car, buy a house and marry the guy of his dreams, all thanks to Spentable. Get Spentable. Get the love of your life.
