More shoppers visited stores on Black Friday compared with last year. Photo: Victor J. Blue/Bloomberg NewsRetailers aren’t just having trouble getting shoppers to buy sweaters and other holiday items this season. Store credit cards are also a tougher sell.

There is a hard truth about the business of personal finance: It’s pretty tough to make money helping people spend less money. When Intuit shuts the budgeting app Mint down on Jan 1., it will join a packed graveyard of startups that tried and failed to cash in on financial responsibility.

Latasha Jordan ’s favorite budgeting tool is a blank sheet of paper. The 39-year-old from Durham, N.C., folds the page into three sections twice, an act of organizational origami she refined over the past decade. The folds create enough boxes to fill in nine months of income, expenses, debt and savings by hand. A budgeting app could save her hours and effort, but she insists that the drudgery of doing it herself is what makes it actually work.

The savings account is unusual in another way, too: It is attached to Apple Card, a credit card. Savings accounts and credit cards are usually kept separate. In traditional wallets, debit and credit cards keep spending accounts at your fingertips, but it is rare to have similar access to savings on the go. The allure of putting them together is the ability to seamlessly transfer money between them and more easily use savings money to pay off debt.
