I’ve tried quite a number of financial and budgeting software– MS Money, Quicken, and some free stuff online. Whoa, whoa! Waaaay too complicated. I just want to BUDGET, not plan my retirement, trade my stocks, cash in silver or gold, and chat with Bernanke! I *just* want to budget. How about you?
There’s some new envelope budgeting software in town, folks. You know that reliable envelope budgeting system? Where you tuck your paycheck cash in envelopes? That’s become more difficult, now that banking, bill paying, and direct deposit are done electronically. NeoBudget can help with it all. It manages your budget money with virtual envelopes, calculating expenses, and more. There’s a very informative video at the website. I like it. I think I may just try this. It’s free for 7 days, and after that it’s $2.50 a month (or less expensive if you pay per year). This could solve a lot of budgeting woes and it’s a very simple and straightforward program!
Remember, I’m a pro-blogger and I am sometimes compensated with stuff or money to review or mention products or services! This was one of them. :D You can read more about my blog policy on my My Pledge page.


I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
