How to Manage Your Money Easily

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

Raise your hand if you think managing money is easy.

…Nobody?

Yeah, we thought so.

Thankfully, Bluebird, a checking and debit alternative from American Express and Walmart, helps make managing your money easier!  Bluebird is a great option for managing finances, as you can set up your own account if you’re 18 years or older, or if Mom and Dad have an account, they can create a subaccount for you to help you learn as you go.  With Bluebird, you can add money into your account, make purchases with the Bluebird Card, pay bills and split bills with friends at dinner (amazing, right?!), use the Bluebird mobile app,  check out money management tools and more!

As we all have different lifestyles and ways we get income, Bluebird makes adding money convenient! You can add money in a variety of ways, such as using direct deposit; doing a remote check capture via the Bluebird mobile app (SUPER easy!); adding cash at any Walmart register; or linking a checking, savings or debit card to add money to your account.  With Bluebird, you can also set up alerts and controls to manage your account. You can use your Bluebird Card at millions of locations that accept American Express Cards.

Sound good? You can sign up for free on Bluebird.com or buy a $5 account setup kit at a local Walmart. Now get shopping (smartly!), collegiettes!
