April 2007 - Managing Your Money and Budgeting

Meeting Details

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 money using Palm software and your desktop. We’ll take a look at basic money management and how you can easily keep up with balances and input your transactions as they happen. Finally, we’ll review some ot the budgeting software available for your Palm too.

Agenda

1. Welcome & Announcements
After welcoming everyone to the meeting, we give a quick update on what’s new with the user group. This include membership, web site updates, where our geocache bug tracker is, etc.

2. What’s Happening In Palm OS?
Each month we cover everything that’s happened over the past month with Palm OS. We discuss the handhelds, new cool software and what to look for in the future.

3. What’s On Your Palm?
Our very own Fred Heumann asks the question, “What’s On Your Palm?” and shares what are some of the latest, best and sometimes unusual programs for your Palm.

6. Managing Your Money On Your Palm
Quicken or Money can make managing your money quick and easy, but did you also know that you can put it on your Palm? We will demonstrate just how powerful your Palm OS device can really be by using any of a plethora of programs to manage your money in the palm of your hand.

5. Mantaining A Budget With Your Palm
Whether you use desktop software or just keep your checkbook manually it’s still a good idea to maintain a budget. For some people this can be a full time job, but Randy Jones and Michael Ashby will be giving the run down on a few applications that can really make your life easier. You’ll learn how easy it can be to not only create a budget, but also maintain it as well.
