the good with story
Good With what, exactly?
a bit about us
Hi. It’s us. Good With. We’re the anti-bad-vibes money app built by psychologists bringing good vibes to the world. Our team also consists of data scientists, developers, and humans (mostly) who know first hand the stresses and anxieties money can bring. Adulting is hard. Money is complicated. Money advice is generic. We know this because we’ve been through it, or are still venturing. It’s not like they make it easy when it comes to the intimidating world of money and personal finance.
what we do
It’s like a money app, buuut not really. More like a money app that’s actually got your back (and wellbeing). We take a scientific and psychology-based approach to money, and our app has been proven to alleviate financial stresses. From all the way down the Cornish coast, we’re building an app that goes beyond the norm. Create life-changing money habits that support your mental health, and learn the stuff about money you actually want to know. Put simply, We’re building the first money app that factors in mental health for ultimate money-good-vibes and stress-free living. Yay!
