Personal finance is the application of the principles of finance to the monetary decisions of an individual or family unit. It addresses the ways in which individuals or families obtain, budget, save, and spend monetary resources over time, taking into account various financial risks and future life events. Components of personal finance might include checking and savings accounts, credit cards and consumer loans, investments in the stock market, retirement plans, social security benefits, insurance policies, and income tax management.

Q. I would like to have a safeand secure, legit, personal finance tracker online. Basically where I can input debts and have access to assistance or tips, a way to keep up with my finances and get things on the right track. Any suggestions?

A. I use Microsoft Money and it works well for me. Once I have set up the online accounts it automatically updates them (there is an option to have it update every day or once a week). The downside is that the software only lets you do this for two years, which means you would have to go into each bank or credit card website and download each account one by one, or upgrade to the newer version.

Now, Gas and Groceries are variable expenses meaning they are different each month always over estimate for these. I only use about 50 dollars in gas each month but I end up putting $100 into the envelop each month in case I want to take a trip or have to have an oil change. All of the… [cont.]
