Does this sound familiar...

• Always waiting for the next pay period
• Wondering how you are going to make the mortgage or rent payment
• Where did the money go
• How am I going to get gas so I can get to work
• I'll go down to the cash advance place
• Borrowing from family and friends
• Late payments & bill collector's phone calls
• We need a budget
• And the list goes on and on and on...

If you are serious...
If you are serious about getting a handle on your finances you must know where it's coming from and more importantly where it's going to. Armed with the right information and will power you can take charge by building a budget and getting your financial house in order.

With Family Funds Tracker and your determination you'll be able to record your income amounts and sources, record your spending by categories you name (no cryptic accounting  mumbo-jumbo), who you paid it to, the amount, the type of payment such as check, cash, credit card, or whatever you decide, and notes you may want to keep on the transaction. With this detailed information you will be able to create a budget you can live with.

After you have run the program a while you will want to use the "Expense Averages" button which will be a real eye opener.
