    WordPress as Budgeting Software: Mo.neytrack.in

    December 26th, 2006 | Posted in blog 12 Comments »

    I didn’t realize WordPress could be reprogrammed in such a way as this, but someone has created an online budgeting software tool out of WordPress: http://Mo.neytrack.in. (I’m assuming that moneytrackin.com was taken.)

    Basically you enter transactions that are either positive or negative, and then tag them with a keyword. Mo.neytrack.in can then aggregate similar keywords (categories) and show you the money spent on that category, and so on. It also has more advanced graphing, project, and other calculation tools. I’m pretty excited about it.Here’s the interface for a transaction. Simple — just how I like it.

    I also like the idea that I can do my budget anywhere that I have internet access. And I won’t have to hunt around on my computer for my budget file. It’s all online — I am gradually organizing my life online. Eventually everything I need will be online. Our computers will just be terminals to the cyberspace.

    Another cool thing about Mo.neytrack.in is that they have a blog. It’s becoming more and more the norm that companies have blogs. I found it very helpful — through their blog I discovered that they have a Firefox extension that allows you to click a button on your browser toolbar and enter a transaction. I love that!

      I personally look after my family budget and all spending items need to be accounted for so that at any point in time you know where you are. Requires discipline but that’s the only way.
      To help you with budgeting I’d recommend a personal finance software by Australian business Parcus Group.
      Easy to use program with features including budgeting, financial planning, real estate analysis, shares valuation, life insurance…
      Costs US$24 so it’s not a huge investment but a good value for money.
      You can get it on http://www.parcusgroup.com/index.html

      Thanks for the product recommendation. I’ll have to check it out. I really tried to use Mo.neytrack.in, but honestly it just doesn’t work for me. I don’t think it’s set up to do real budgeting, just to keep track of what goes in and out. I reverted to my old excel file with formulas.
