11 Super Inspiring Financial Instagram Accounts to Follow

Admit it: Instagram is the ultimate oh-so-handy time-waster when you know full well you should be doing something else. It’s the go-to app when we’re waiting in long lines, or whenever we want to peek in on the latest update in the lives of our favorite celebrities. Of course it can also serve as an inspiration-filled storyboard. Images of far-away places inspire our travel adventures, and a plethora of feel-good, motivational quotes inspire us in our daily lives. If lately you’ve been looking for a little more financial savvy in your feed, we’ve got you covered.

@TheBudgetMom

It’s one thing to manage your own finances to perfection. And it’s another to do it while supporting a family.
