James Fish is a Junior Doctor using Snoop to rein in spending after the rapid expansion of his family

I have three children under three after my twins were born in October 2020. Life is as hectic as you can imagine. I finally own a house after more than ten rentals. A joint mortgage with my wife at a good rate is costing us less than our rent did. I’ve been using Snoop for a couple of months now to try and rein in my spending after the rapid expansion of our family.

Snoop is a great app for this and has been a real help to us. The three best features I’ve found so far are.

1. The connectivity with my credit and debit accounts. I’ve used similar apps that couldn’t access some accounts. I can now get blow by blow updates rather than forget about large credit card bills until items too late to put the brakes on my spending.

2. The recommendation of best savings rates so I can always keep money in the most productive place.

3. Advice on current account switching. I’ve made £125 by moving to NatWest and over £200 by changing my credit card.

My most used feature is the weekly spending report which motivates and encourages me in my current spending. Good use of Psychology.
