Instead of offering yet another software title to track accounts, LandWare, the maker of PocketQuicken, teamed up with Money Magazine to bring you Money Magazine Financial Assistant. This comprehensive personal finance tool provides 45 money management functions for your Palm PDA (Palm OS 3.5 and higher), including Palm Tungsten, Zire, Treo 600, 650 and 700p.
Money Magazine Financial Assistant worksheet calculators solve personal finance problems that range from simply splitting a restaurant bill or determining if buying in bulk will save money to more complex problems like determining bond yield and the future value of a lump sum.
Extra Features Advance Your Financial Knowledge
Feel confused by financial decisions? Although all you need to do is plug in numbers and let Financial Assistant give you the answers, details and examples provided with every worksheet show you how to use it.
Two glossaries, one with 1,600 terms and another with 7,200 terms for looking up the meaning of financial terms. The Money 101: Key Financial Advice module actually provides quick lessons from Money Magazine to teach you more about investing, saving, borrowing and spending your money.
Money Magazine Financial Assistant software is no longer available from Landware. To find a mobile personal finance software solution, see SmartPhone, PDA and iPhone Software.
The glossaries take up 143k and 546k (respectively) of memory on your Palm, and Money 101: Key Financial Advice uses 30k. Installing any or all of these features is optional for those who want to save space on their PDA. Money Magazine Financial Assistant requires 465k of RAM on your Palm PDA.
Money Magazine Financial Assistant will set you back $19.95, a great price for all these personal finance features. LandWare gives you a 14-day trial so you will know how useful Financial Assistant is before you buy it.
