What were your new year&apos;s resolutions? If you&#x2019;re anything like me, at the top of the resolution list is spending more time with friends, going overseas, and being better with money.
&#xA0;
It&#x2019;s more than just saving money. It also involves ensuring that you&#x2019;re only spending your money when you should be. For me, that means not being too generous and making sure you get what you&#x2019;re owed.&#xA0;
&#xA0;
The Beem It app helps me get what I&#x2019;m owed while avoiding the awkward money moments with my friends. Let me explain how:
&#xA0;
The other day I was with a group of my friends, enjoying a dinner out on the town. We all ordered our different meals and I jumped up to pay (I wanted the points and I don&#x2019;t like the awkwardness of waiting to work out who foots the bill). Now I should also mention that I&#x2019;m a vegan. That tends to mean that I should be paying for less than my other friends who get to eat more of the shared dishes. I suggested that we all just &#x201C;Beem It&#x201D;. All I had to do later was, split the bill using the Beem It App, with my group of friends who all paid me back instantly. No questions asked. Instead of sitting there working out who owed what, we were able to move on to the karaoke. It was an easy way to make sure I got exactly what I was owed - and as a bonus, I got to spend more quality time with my friends. That&#x2019;s two new year&#x2019;s resolutions down with one app!
&#xA0;
You can get paid back the money that you&#x2019;re owed in 2020, by using Beem It:
<ol>
<li>Simply request a payment from a friend for the amount they owe you. Avoid those awkward text messages and conversations to transfer money. Beem It also sends automatic reminders until the payment request is resolved.&#xA0;&#xA0;</li>
<li>Use the Groups feature to tally individual costs, and work out who owes what from a running total of expenses. That way both you AND your friends will be better at tracking money.&#xA0;</li>
<li>Never be left footing the bill. Split the bill to ensure everyone pays their fair share.</li>
</ol>
&#xA0;
I am looking forward to a great 2020 and slightly better finances. I hope you are too.

We continue to grow our network and move closer towards our goal of making life easier for all Australians. One million downloads is a testament to our committed team and our Beem It community (aka you!) that have backed us every step of the way.
&#xA0;
Without our users trying the product, consistently giving us invaluable feedback and partnering with us to make the product even better, we wouldn&#x2019;t be where we are today. So, we want to take this opportunity to shout out to our users for the ongoing support. You rock!

&#xA0;
If the recipient is a Beem It user, your gift will pop up in their activity feed for them to unwrap and reveal your card.

And don&#x2019;t worry, your money will remain in your account until they do so.&#xA0;
&#xA0;

The gift that keeps on giving

Before Beem It, getting paid back from people was somewhat of a nightmare. The desire to avoid awkward money moments at the register or dinner table with a simple &#x201C;just pay me back later&#x201D;, would haunt you forever. Asking once, twice, three times before you give up hope of ever seeing that money again. And what about those of us too anxious to even ask?&#xA0;
&#xA0;
We asked our users for their scariest IOUs and boy did they deliver...
&#xA0;
&#x201C;One night I was walking home from the University bar and saw someone who was getting bullied by a few other people. I thought it best I go and help and so handed my wallet to this guy I knew. I ended up saving the day but the bloke I gave my wallet to took $30 for his trouble telling me he&#x2019;d pay me back. This was 5 years ago I haven&#x2019;t received my $30 back as he never has cash, but whenever I&#x2019;m not nearby the guy keeps sending me photos of him waving $30 around. &#x2013; Bass, ACT
&#xA0;
&#x201C;This bloke I used to live with was in charge of collecting everyone&#x2019;s rent and paying the landlord as it was a private arrangement for our share house. Everything was going well until 9 months into the lease the landlord came round asking why he hadn&#x2019;t received the rent. Turns out the guy was keeping it in a shoebox under his bed. He did a runner and we never got our money. &#x2013; The General, NSW
&#xA0;
&#x201C;There&#x2019;s this girl I know who always avoids a shout. Always leaves just when it&#x2019;s their turn to buy drinks or slows down when everyone is nearing the end so someone else has to go get the next. We confronted her one time, she denied it and then overcompensated buying drinks all night. Next morning, she sends us a text with basically an itemised list of the night out asking for us to pay our share!! &#x2013; Patricia, VIC
&#xA0;
Don&#x2019;t risk it - send a request with Beem It for instant payments into your account. Forget about pesky BSB and account numbers, Beem It allows you to send and receive money with anyone in your network simply with their username. We&#x2019;ll even send automated payment reminders on your behalf, so you can save your friendships and avoid those awkward money conversations.&#xA0;
