My Budget Keeper

In a world where earning money doesn't always equate to saving it, My Budget Keeper offers a well-rounded solution for those looking to manage their finances effectively. This shareware, developed by MyBudgetKeeper.com, is a handy tool in the Home & Hobby category, specifically under Bookkeeping-Cataloging. The latest version, 2.30.2, is available for Windows 7, 10, and 11, and previous versions such as 2.3, and 1.1 are also offered.

My Budget Keeper shines both as a personal expense tracker and a family budgeting tool. It is designed with four main modules: Incomes, Expenses, Persons, and Reports, making it brainlessly simple yet extraordinarily effective. This makes the program an invaluable asset for tracking your financial health and stability. With its easy-to-navigate interface and a very low learning curve, it is suitable for even the most unsophisticated PC users.

The Incomes panel showcases the family finances, listing all the incoming money sources and their amounts. The Expenses panel records purchases and payments made by different family members within a specified period, allowing for comments on each expense. Users can specify whether an expense was personal or for the entire family, adding an extra layer of clarity. The Persons panel registers different family members, and the Reports panel serves as the core of the program, featuring four basic reports with customizable graphs.

One of the standout features is the array of reports it offers:

• Persons report: Identifies the biggest spender and thriftiest individual within the family.
• Expenses report: Provides a detailed breakdown of spending habits and comparisons on a month-to-month basis.
• Incomes report: Details the sources and amounts of incoming funds.
• Incomes/Expenses report: Gives an overview of the financial balance.

Customization options for the graphs ensure that users can tailor reports to their particular preferences and needs.

Pros:

• Uncomplicated interface: Perfect for all levels of PC users.
• Effective financial tracking: Helps manage both personal and family budgets.
• Customizable reports and graphs: Adds value and functionality.

Cons:

• Not free: It is a shareware, meaning it requires a purchase after a trial period.
• Limited to Windows OS: Only supports Windows 7/10/11.

For those interested, the download of My Budget Keeper is straightforward with the installation file named MyBudgetKeeper.exe. Though not entirely free, it is priced reasonably, ensuring value for money spent.
