Everyone needs help with handling money especially during the festive season.  We are sure it’s a battle for many to not end up finishing their resources before the next paycheck. Hence, we have come up with the 3 applications for those who feel they need help in organizing the flow of their monthly income.

1. Expense Tracker
The Expense Tracker is for tracking expense and planning budget with multi currency, with search and sorting options.   It is possible to know at each and every stage at what price merchandise were purchased or sold and to whom. Track your spending, and have the complete picture of where your money goes. It allows you to record and manage your everyday personal and business expenses from anywhere. In addition, it allows you to see where your money goes with convenient tracking by types. Users can also track expenses by category and by dates. If you get to the end of the month and wonder where all the money has gone, this application is just for you. All this for US$12.99    

2. Handy Expense
Handy Expense is a new expense tracking application for Symbian UIQ 3.0 smartphones. Find out and keep track of where your money is going during business trips or holidays. Hint: it will be easier to claim back from your company every ringgit you’ve spent instead of forking out from your own pocket. Create your own specific categories, types of expenses and add any currency.

You can also analyze your expenses with the Handy Expense software and finished reports can be sent via SMS or e-mail. So, go for your vacations or business trips in peace and be assured that all expenses would be well covered within the required budget. This software will only cost you US$19.95.

3. CarManager
With the price of fuel increasing by the year, everyone is very careful with their vehicle usage. Here is an application from Italy that might help you in that matter. CarManager can keep track of your car’s fuel consumption, trips and expenses. It runs on your J2me phone and this program only takes 92 KB of your phone memory but contains many features to help you along the way.




CarManager is able to manage multiple cars, so don’t worry if you own more than one car. You are even provided with fuel fill up, expense and trip manager columns to supervise your daily car expenses whenever and wherever you want. On top of that, users are given Manage Security access with a password and allowed sending by email full reports in Excel and CSV Format. These features are all for a mere US$ 4.99 only. To name a few mobile phones compatible to this software: Nokia 3650, Nokia 6600, Nokia 6620, Nokia N-Gage, Nokia N90, Motorola A1000, BenQ P30, Sony Ericsson P900 and Panasonic X800.

So go ahead and get these applications; you’ll have a head start in managing your finances and know where all that money goes by the end of the month.
