Personal Budget
It’s a software for personal use and monitoring and adjusting of budget and expenses. You can find PB located at www.tzisoft.com
I checked the software with many virus scanners. This software is safe. Feel Free to check the software yourself.
At a Glance
This program downloads as a 5.6mb executable file named “PBSetup.exe”. Once uncompressed you see “4.93 MB (5,173,248 bytes)” In the programs folder. When you flip down through the folders you find just an executable and an uninstaller. Kind of looks like a Stand Alone. None the less, the actual install is very very tiny.
Run Down
In the file option menu, you get a quick shortcut to your calculator. under Properties you see “update checking balance” and “update Loan balance” . In both you have the choice of “Enable auto update” and “Don’t Ask”. Under Option you can set a security key and you can change the background theme.
I would like to see under the file area “Save as” Where you can export to excel or open office calc, And take the calculator option out and move it next to the Data page/calendar page button. But it’s not my software and I can not make what this person made. So I completely appreciate it for what it is. I do hope the maker is working on a full paid version that fills up all of the dead space, completely full of buttons. Again, I know squat about budgeting. So what this software is and does is 10000 times more than I can do by myself. The reason for wanting to see way more options in the full version is so buyers can get more features and functions, and so the maker can get some revenue for what work has been done. From what I can tell, this is completely free software. So kudos!
The review
I am the last person in the world you want to do your bookkeeping or manage your budget. I can barely do mine. I just buy stuff and think ‘ I might have enough… hope it takes a couple days before it goes through” or the extreme opposite ” ERm I think I’m out of cash and probably going to go overdraft so I’m not buying squat till payday”. I have been messing with this program for two days and already I see a massive change. I know what my balance is, what I owe on my vehicle and what my budget is. This is very easy to use software. I really do like it. I mean look, I am doing a positive review here.
Experiment
I have copied the Executable file from “C:\Program Files\TZISoft\Personal Budget\” and placed it on a thumb drive. I opened the thumb drive using my son’s computer, and there was all of my information that I typed in.This is great. so I can take this with me wherever I go and not have to lug around my computer.
Note to self: Never lose the thumb drive. Use the password feature noted before. by Selecting “security key”
My hat is off to this software builder at www.tzisoft.com I suggest you give it a try.
