I always run out of budget at the end of every month. And I could not track where all my money goes. So I decided to use a personal money manager. After some Googling, I found a wonderful software called Money Manager Ex. This is a lightweight personal money manager software which is available free of cost. Money Manager provides some nice features. Below is the summary of the features, I like. Multiple Bank Account: You can manage multiple bank accounts. It supports two type of accounts - saving/checking and investment. Your investment accounts automatically becomes stock accounts. But it would be nice if I could get third account type - credit account, for my credit cards. However, you can manage credit cards by pretending them to be saving account and entering the opening balance (i.e. outstanding amount) in negative. Transactions: With Monery Manager Ex, you can enter tentative transactions. I enterd tentative transactions for the month in advance. Then you can categorize the transactions as reconciled, void or follow up. Repeated Transactions: You can enter repeated transactions and set the frequency, date etc. This saves lots of data entry time. Transaction Splitting: This is a very useful feature of Money Manager. You can split a transaction in multiple transactions. I enter a lum sump amount at the beginning of the month for home needs. Later on I can split this transaction into different categories. This helps me to manage my budget and always provides me a birds eye view of my finance. Budgeting: This software allows you to enter budget for a year. Later on you can compare budget with the actual expenses. The best feature of the Money Manager is that you can carry it with you. The software is very carefully designed not to use any windows dependency like windows registry or any thing else. You don't need to install the software on your machine. Keep the software in a pen drive and use it any where, at home or on your office laptop or in a cyber cafe etc. Wed, 13 Jul 2008 04:00:00 GMT http://yaneshtyagi.com/Articles/Monney-Manager-Ex.aspx#item3
