Fans of budgeting and financial management are getting spoiled for choice these days. No longer do end-users need to purchase expensive software bundles or themselves be accountants in order to enjoy the luxury of a budget management system. Today there is an array of tools from simple budget calculators to more in-depth tools that link to your bank account and continually monitor your expenses.

A few favourites include:

• Wonga Budget Calculator

This is a basic budgeting tool with a friendly user-interface.  You can save your work and come back to it or print it off to take a copy with you. With your wage slip in hand and a grasp on your monthly bills, you’re ready to get underway.

• Buxfer – Personal finance software

Buxfer is free online personal software for budgeting and expense management. Buxfer can link all your bank accounts and credit cards into your Buxfer account so you can manage them all from one location. You can see where your money goes and also create budgets.

• Geezeo – Personal finance for everyone

Geezeo is also a free online personal software tool that links to bank accounts and you can access Geezeo from any computer, not just your own home or work computer. Users can create discussion groups and can work together to meet their own personal financial goals. Lots of great tools here.

Managing your own finances and getting out of debt is very much an “in” thing these days, and when the masses talk, smart companies listen. Get on the bandwagon and start crunching some numbers!
