			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tracking your spendings online with web apps is very convenient since they offer the power of monitoring your expenses in detail without the clunky interface found in desktop apps. If you are looking for alternatives to popular personal finance apps, then you should check out Accpal. This Silverlight-based money management tool allows you to track your accounts with extra features such as multi-level tagging, comprehensive reports, and one-click transactions.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/accpal1_thumb.png?570cd5" alt="track your spendings" /></p>
<p>To use Accpal, simply add your new account and currency. After which, you can start adding individual transactions. You can add multiple transactions by clicking &#8220;<em>Add &amp; New</em>&#8221; while adding an entry. Inputting data feels like working with a spreadsheet which is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, many will find this a nice surprise since you can see your income and expenses in one glance.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/accpal2_thumb.png?570cd5" alt="track your expenses online" /></p>
<p>The highlight of this app is the multi-level tagging feature. With multi-level tagging, you can break down your transaction into a single tag nested under a broader tag. For example, you can click coffee as a tag under &#8220;food&#8221;, and you can even go deeper and tag &#8220;espresso&#8221;, under coffee. This gives you an idea of what exactly you are spending on. This differs from other web apps that lets you tag as much as you like, leaving you to organize the transactions yourself.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/accpal3_thumb.png?570cd5" alt="tracking your expenses" /></p>
<p>Accpal is a nifty website for anyone who needs a better-organized online money management tool.</p>
<p>Features</p>
<ul>
<li>Track your expenses online.</li>
<li>Free of charge.</li>
<li>Requires Silverlight 4.</li>
<li>Tag your transactions &#8211; multi-level tagging.</li>
<li>Comprehensive reporting.</li>
<li>Export to Excel.</li>
<li>Shortcuts allow for one click reporting and transactions.</li>

<p>Once you have created your account, just start entering your transactions at the point of sale through a direct message to  <a href="http://www.twitter.com/twys">@twys</a> .

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you impulse-buy and now regret your purchase? You overspent right when you should have been saving. The guilt that follows ill decision to overspend or purchase something too expensive can be quite the torture.</p>
<p>Now imagine having an angel over your shoulder. Whenever you&#8217;re about to overstep your financial boundary, or simply buying something you don&#8217;t really need, the angel whispers something in your ear that reminds you of what you should really be doing: saving.</p>
<p>A recent study reported by the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20091103-712448.html">Wall Street Journal</a> showed that daily money-saving reminders to people increased their savings rate by 6%! These findings prove that a significant difference can be made by helping people stay aware of their spending habits. This is why SaveEveryWay was created. The site is a free web service reminding you in multiple ways (Twitter, Email, SMS, RSS feeds) to save your money.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/saveeveryway.png?570cd5" alt="daily money saving tips" /></p>
<p>To receive a daily reminder, quote or suggestion on saving money, you can follow SaveEveryWay on Twitter (@saveeveryway), sign up for a text message alerts, subscribe to RSS feeds, and/or get emails. Whichever service you use, you can easily unsubscribe from it anytime. </p>
<p>A great thing about this web service is that it doesn&#8217;t sell you anything, doesn&#8217;t market any products, the text messages and emails don&#8217;t end with suggestions to purchase anything; it is all absolutely charge free and advertisement free! The only thing it runs on is your donations.</p>
