Budgeting 2.0
Today’s job market has probably dealt a considerable blow to your paycheck – time to tighten up that belt. Luckily, there are thousands of well-reasoned, well-written budget guides available for free on the Internet, and just as many free software tools to help you follow the budget that suits your needs. You can even keep track of your income and expenses with applications available for whichever overpriced smartphone you may happen to own, so the $500 you spent on it might actually be recovered within a reasonable amount of time! Information technology is a wonderful thing, especially when it’s working to save you money, so fire up those search engines, iPhones, and PDA’s – you’ll have your finances in order faster than you can say “upgrade.”

Stretching your money can be difficult, and buying software can definitely help, but always remember that there are many unplanned expenses that no program can predict for you. And for every expensive software package, there are many free programs. While these free budget applications may not have all the bells and whistles, they still provide you the basic outline. Just remember - no matter how fancy your computer budgeting program, it can't work miracles. In fact, it won't even work unless you take the time to input your receipts daily.
