Cash Advance apps offer people the ability to borrow small amounts of money in the form of cash advances. Some may have additional features, such as credit-building, saving and budgeting tools, and bank accounts. Most require a monthly membership fee and/or service fees that will be deducted from your account at the same time as your advance repayment. You will need to have a bank account with direct deposit from your employer in order to use these apps. Here is a list of nine, no hassle, Cash Advance apps you can use to get from pay check to pay check. Before I list them, I want to advise against using these apps unless it is an emergency. These should only be used every once in a while. If you are having problems getting from paycheck to paycheck, there is likely a bigger issue at hand. I recommend going over your income and expenses and watching your spending, or getting a second job. Click here for the budgeting app that I use and how it helps me manage my money: My Go-to Budgeting App 

Here are nine apps you can use to get cash now:

EMPOWER is a personal finance app that helps you take control of your money. They offer cash advances of $25 to $250. Empower is at the top of my list because it doesn't charge any fees or interest on its cash advances. You just pay it back automatically when you receive your next paycheck. Once you connect a checking account to Empower, you’ll also be able to get a complete snapshot of your financial spending. This tool is useful because it can help you cut unnecessary spending.




BRIGIT is an app that provides small cash advances of $50 to $250, as well as a budgeting tool. You will have to pay a $9.99 membership fee to access most of Brigit's services, including cash advances. Once Brigit is linked to your bank account, it will analyze your spending. With a Plus membership, it will automatically advance money if it thinks your account is in danger of overdrawing. Brigit is not available for joint checking accounts and it does not work with Chime, Capital One or NetSpend, (although they do work with more than 6,000 other banks and credit unions).




DAVE is a popular cash advance app that also offers banking and financial services app. It was originally created to help customers avoid bank overdraft fees. You can advance up to $250 with Dave. There is a $1.00/month membership fee and $5.99 fee for instant transfers. Cash advances are free if you use the standard 2-3 day option. They also ask for a tip of up to $25 but it is not required. You have the option of linking Dave to your existing bank account or opening a Dave account.




ALBERT is a financial app offering automatic savings tools, bank accounts, cash-back rewards, auto-investing; and, they just happen to make cash advances as well. You can advance $100 - $250 from Albert to help to make ends meet. Albert charges a fee to get funds instantly, or you can transfer in 2–3 days for free. The app does ask for a tip, which is not required. The app also charges a $4 monthly membership fee. Albert also offers early paydays to account holders.




EARNIN has been around since 2013. It allows users an advance between $55 to $500 for each pay period, depending on your situation. You pay the loan back out of your next paycheck and there are no membership fees, or advance fees. The catch is that you have to be a salaried, hourly, or on-demand employee to use Earnin. You also have to receive your paycheck via direct deposit, allow Earnin to track your work hours, and possibly give them your work email for added verification. The app asks for a tip but it is not required.





KLOVER is an app that offers zero-interest cash advances on your paycheck to help you cover expenses until your next payday. The maximum amount you can advance is $100. As with the other apps, you have to link Klover to your bank account and fees apply for instant cash advances. The fee for instant cash is $6.49. Klover has a point system that allows you to earn points by completing tasks and offers on the app. You can then use your points to increase the amount of your advance, to spin the price wheel, or to enter daily sweepstakes. 



SOLO FUNDS is not a cash advance app. However, you can obtain micro loans from Solo Funds to cover emergency expenses. These are peer-to-peer loans and range from $50 to $1,000. You can get your money the same day and you have up to 15 days to pay it back. SoLo Funds doesn’t charge loan fees or interest. However, it will charge you a late fee of 15% of the loan plus $5 if your payment doesn’t go through on the due date. Additionally, your peer lender may ask for a tip in order to fund your loan. Tips can be up to 10% of the loan amount. 




CLEO is a finance and budgeting app for beginners. The app allows cash advances of up to $100 for its plus members. The plus membership is $5.99 monthly. You can choose your repayment date and it can be anywhere between three and twenty-eight days. What makes Cleo different from other apps is it's chatbot Monster. The Cleo monster uses artificial intelligence to track your spending and push you to be more conscious about what you're spending. The app tries to bring some fun to financial management. You can even put it on Roast Mode and Cleo will humorously shame you for your poor spending.




FLOAT ME offers small cash advances that are perfect for avoiding overdraft fees. The app allows advances of $10 to $50 that you can borrowed between your paychecks. Although the maximum you can advance is $50, most new users are only approved for up to $20 per pay period. Float me has a low monthly membership fee of $1.99 and an additional fee for instant transfers. Repayment of the advance and fee will automatically be deducted from your bank account on your next payday.

Dating After 40: Why You Deserve a Man Who's Done the Work

I'm 44, and while I'm no expert, I believe women in their 40's should have a different outlook on dating than those in their younger years. As we age, our priorities change. We reach a point where we no longer have time for "projects." And that includes men who don't have their shit together. At this age a man should be stable, both financially and emotionally. We've invested time and energy building ourselves up and we deserve a partner who has done the same.  Once you reach a certain age, you can no longer afford to invest your time and energy into someone who isn't on the same page as you.  You've spent years working on yourself and improving your life. You've invested time and money into your education, career, and personal growth. You've learned the importance of taking care of your physical and mental health. So why should you settle for a man who hasn't done the same? A man who has done the work is someone who is emotionally matu...

Managing Money: Use Different Accounts for Different Purposes

Money management is key to building and maintaining wealth. And as women, it's important that we pay close attention to our finances and invest them wisely. One of the best financial tips that I've learned in my personal journey is to use different accounts for different purposes. By using this simple yet effective method, you can easily manage your money and reach your financial goals faster. How to set up different accounts: The first step is to determine which areas of your life require financial planning. This may include a retirement account, an emergency fund, a vacation fund, and so on. Then, open a separate account for each of these goals. Most banks offer free savings accounts, so take advantage of them. Once you have set up each account, determine the percentage of your income that should be allotted to each account. The benefits of using different accounts: By using different accounts, you can easily track your spending and savings. Each account is designed for a spe...

STOP Recycling Men: Here's Why You Deserve Better!

Have you ever found yourself in a relationship with a man who keeps revisiting his past, unable to detach from his old ways?

Recycling is when you take an old, outdated thing, and make a new use of it. You don't deserve an outdated man who is stuck in ways.

You deserve a man who is ready and willing to create a completely new version of himself.

We have all encountered rude people in our lives who don't realize how their behavior can overstep boundaries and cause others to feel disrespected.

The key to becoming a class act is to respond to their behavior with calmness and compassion. Today, I am going to discuss how affirmations can help you achieve this goal. I have compiled a list of 19 affirmations that can help you respond to rude people in a positive way and improve your interactions. So, let's dive in! Photo by Madvortex 1) "I am patient and understanding" - When someone is being rude, it is easy to let our emotions take over.

Ex ...(P2.1) The beginning

I think ...for you to truly understand, I have to go back to the beginning.  I love, being in love, and back in my 20s it was I could dream about. I wanted a husband and a friend. I wanted a soul mate and a lover. I wanted a family. I wanted to grow old with my husband. I dreamed that one day we would be elderly sitting on our porch in rocking chairs fussing at our grandchildren together. My husband and I.  Summer Fling 2002 - I was sitting in the kitchen listening to music when my mother called. She was at work and needed tampons. I grabbed the tampons and my purse and headed out the door. It was a warm summer night. I walked to the corner and checked for the bus. Nothing. I'd have to walk the four blocks to her job. It was Friday and the whole neighborhood seemed to be outside. Teenagers roamed the streets in groups talking loudly. Cars cruised down the block with various genres of music fading away as they passed. A small crowd lingered outside the Chinese store. I walked q...

Invest in Men Who Invest in Themselves

A lot of women fall into the trap of settling for men who are not growing emotionally or mentally. So, today let's explore the importance of investing in a partner who invests in themselves. We will look at the five warning signs that a man is not growing.  Unwilling to be accountable -  A man who is not willing to take responsibility for his actions or mistakes is not growing. He may blame others for his problems, make excuses, or refuse to admit when he's wrong. This lack of accountability can cause major problems in a relationship, leading to mistrust, resentment, and emotional distance.  Unaware of his faults -  A man who doesn't recognize his faults and limitations is not growing. He may have a fixed mindset, believing that he is who he is and can't change. (You know, those, "I'm set in my ways" guys). This can be frustrating for a partner who wants to grow and evolve together.  Dependent on you for every little thing -  A man who is dependent on you ...

A Weak Man Hates Anything that Challenges Him to Be Better

Let's talk about weak men. We've all come across them. The ones who blame others for their shortcomings. The ones that struggle with accountability and reject anything that challenges them to be better. In essence - the narcissistic and self-centered ones. It is not easy to deal with these men, especially when you find yourself romantically involved with them. Weak men often have fragile egos, and anything that threatens their little fragile sense of self is perceived as a threat. We have to understand that these men are not secure within themselves, and they rely on external validation to feel good about themselves. Therefore, when you try to challenge them to be better, they feel like you are attacking them, and they become defensive. They cannot handle criticism, and they struggle with personal growth. One of the reasons why weak men struggle with personal growth is that they are afraid of change. They are comfortable in their current ways, and they are not willing to step o...

Stop Dating Needy Men. You're not the Goodwill

Ladies, it's time to stop dating needy men. You know the ones I'm talking about, the guys who seem to only take from the relationship and never give back. The ones who drain your energy, demand your attention and always need you to do something for them. If you're tired of being the Goodwill of your relationships and donating your vagina to men who don't deserve it, then this post is for you. First, let me clarify what I mean by “needy men.” These are men who are incapable of doing anything for themselves and believe that the world owes them something. They are the ones who always need you to babysit them emotionally or financially. When you’re dating a needy man, you are the one doing all the heavy lifting in the relationship. You're paying for the majority of expenses, driving them around, and picking up their messes.  Let me emphasize the importance of reciprocity in relationships. Relationships should be about give and take. When you're doing everything for ...
