Meeting Summary
It’s that time of year again. That darn April 15th, when the tax man cometh to take all your hard earned money away. Well NPUG is here to help! I don’t know if we can help you KEEP any of your money, but we can at least help you get it organized.
This month we take a look at Palm OS software that can help you manage your money and expenses. We’ll be exploring how you can manage your expenses and easily report them to your boss on expense forms, or document them for tax purposes. We’ll also take a look at basic money management and how you can easily keep up with balances and input your transactions as they happen.
In addition, we have a TON of software to giveaway! Thanks to the fine folks at PalmGear we have 10 titles that we’ll be giving away. So not only will you learn how to manage your money, you may just get the software to do it!

Wether you run your own business or work for a large corporation, tracking expenses is something that you will inevitably have to do.

You’ll learn how easy it can be to not only record your expenses, but report them as well.
