Buxfer: Take your finances online

Are you a college student looking for an easy way to manage your accounts & finances? Are you a person who just wants to get all your accounts into one easy to manage interface so that you don't pull that extra strand of hair from your head? Ever had problems managing your finances? Do you have no clue of how much you are spending and how much you are actually earning? Ever tried to compare your income versus your expenses? Ever had a tough time tracking checks, payments from room mates, credit card payments, etc?

There are a number of softwares out there which help you manage your finances but they are expensive to purchase and are a bit complicated for basic use. For example, Microsoft Money & Quicken. I came across this wonderful gift from the Internet called Buxfer. It is an online personal finance management tool which helps you keep track of all your accounts. It takes less than one(1) minute to setup your Buxfer account since you can use your existing Yahoo, Google, and lots of other online account to sign up for the Buxfer service. Once you are done with the initial sign up process, all you have to do is add bank accounts and credit card accounts to your profile, which also is a breeze since Buxfer maintains a large database of banks in the US, making it easier for your to synchronize all your online banking data and statements with your Buxfer interface. There are lots of other cool analysis, graphs, etc. which Buxfer offers which just gives you an idea whether you are growing into a millionaire or if you are actually moving from riches to rags :).

I loved this web interface since it gives me the freedom of checking my accounts and actually updating them with any transactions on the go from my iPhone too. Also, for people who are pessimistic about security on such websites, you have nothing to worry about since it is all secured by godaddy.com :). Well, what are you guys waiting for, go ahead and start creating a more healthy financial outlook for yourself.
