Beyond Accounts and Budgets: Money Magazine Financial Assistant

Although managing accounts and budgets is at the core of personal finance management, I like to find simple software that goes beyond that core to get into the details of personal finances. I found a great tool that does just that for your Palm OS PDA or Treo.

Money Magazine Financial Assistant is financial software for handheld devices running Palm 3.5 above, and it answers all your financial questions. Actually, Financial Assistant answers over 100 financial questions using 45 calculators, and that's more questions than I have. Along with enough calculators to answer any financial question you have, Money Magazine Financial Assistant includes two financial glossaries and a module with quick lessons on learning about investing, saving, borrowing and more.

LandWare, the maker of PocketQuicken, offers a 14-day fully functional trial of Money Magazine Financial Assistant so you can be sure the $20 price is worth it. Get the details on Money Magazine Financial Assistant and you will see why I think that for most Palm owners who are actively managing personal finances or who are learning to do so, this software is worth every penny.
