Stay in Control of Your Spending with Budget iQ
Mar 9, 2010
Your taxes are due in just over a month, and you're starting to wish you were better at managing your finances?
Budget iQ is a new application from Apple, and it's their most preferred money management application. The app monitors a user's financial snapshot, makes projections and offers help for deciding whether or not a purchase you are considering is rational. It does all of this in a way that supports financial responsibility, and can even make budgeting fun!
Users simply have to input their budget amount and preferred time period (for most of us this will be monthly). Entering expenses is done on the app's main dashboard, where all of a user's financial figures are presented in an easy to understand format. Plus, it allows users to easily simulate an impending purchase to see how it will affect their financial snapshot.
