19. The apps helping young people manage their money
The Age – Dec 12, 2017
When Emily Jensen* arrived home from work a few months ago, she found her housemate gone, along with all his possessions. When she checked her bank account shortly after, she found he owed her more than $2000 in rent and bills. Jensen, 27, eventually got the money back but she lost two friends in the process. She has since downloaded an app called easyshare, which collects housemates' shares of the rent and pays them directly to the landlord.
