You always said you'd use your computer for something other than games, didn't you; things like keeping your bank account in order. Perhaps you even started to write a program yourself.

Well, if you realy meant what you said, put your money where your mouth is and buy this program.

You can set up a year of month-by-month budgets, then later on, put in the actual expenditure for comparison, have it plotted out, totalled and so on. It's all very idiot-proof and well presented, with a simple instruction leaflet to guide you.

There's a few improvements that could be made: for example, it can't deal with rebates (negative payments).

It's also very much on the pricey side, but then, one of its expenditure headings is computing!
