Giving Your Best Effort and Winning ... Watching Expenses

---

You want to become financially independent and literate and that means getting involved. You never succeed in becoming your own person when you have others do the work for you. The only way to truly understand the machinations of expenses, budgets and finance is by being totally immersed in the effort to financially succeed.

Watching Expenses is a hybrid Expenses/Budget program that takes a traditional spreadsheet, combines it with a SQLite database and has you make the hard decisions. There are no bright graphs, no pie charts, no sizzle or glitz. Just numbers in rows and columns. There is a green box and you’ll soon learn to make you decisions based on Income, Expenses, Savings and the resulting number in the green box.

Watching Expenses is about you being involved in your day-to-day financial position and success. The program doesn’t download bank statements nor does it enter credit card charges for you. You enter your income, expenses and allow for savings. With Watching Expenses you know where every dollar comes from and goes to goes to. Several months in you’ll find yourself making decisions based on the green box and the amount it contains.

You’ll have skin in the game: $44.95 for ten years of program use. The free programs after several months will begin charging fourteen to nineteen dollars a month. Watching Expenses is a bargain but it’s less about making money than about wanting you to succeed

As you'll find out in WE Overview, it's all about the Green Box!
