Monday, February 15th, 2010

Tough economic times or not, financial experts are constantly reminding us of the importance of having a budget to manage bills and to find money to save. If you’re one of those people who find budgeting akin to a root canal, then check out Balance Forecasting , a new app from Robert Chitoiu . The simple goal of Balance Forecasting is to manage your funds by seeing how much money you’ll have on any given future date. By plugging in a few items and making routine updates, Balance Forecasting is easy to set up and quickly gives you an overview of the entire month, or even year. The advantages of Balance Forecasting are its fairly streamlined design and user-friendliness. With the ability to quickly create entries for recurring bills, one time bills as well as income, and set the dates for each repeating entry, you can not only see if there is enough money at the end of the month to pay it all, but also see when your bills are due and when and if you might fall short. Choose between two views—Forecast and Calendar—to get a glimpse of the future.
