The information is not linked to any specific accounts and only reads your information. Also, all data is protected and validated by VeriSign and TRUSTe. This site is by owned by Intuit (the Quicken folks).

Just need to setup a budget?  You can easily visualize your spending habits at Budget Simple.

AceMoney Lite is software that you download and can use offline if you prefer. It is said to be easy to download and easy to use, something that most people, not used to accounting software would prefer. You can even track investments and for online businesses and electronic sales inputs with PayPal, egNow, RegSoft, SWReg and Plimus.

Money Trackin is also a free online income and expense budget tracking tool that presents you with a clear view of your financial situation. 

A word of advise from a online financial program user, "Be careful and don't give away too much information for someone to be able to piece together enough facts to steal your identity. If you don’t include your name, birth dates, socials, bank account numbers, financial institution names, etc and just remain vague, you should be fine."

As with all things,  we must be careful and wise about how we share information. Like passwords, you don't want to post something that would give any hint of cracking your codes, through social networks, emails or online programs.  That being said, I am not truly concerned over any of these programs as none of them actually allow manipulation of your accounts.

So, with a new year, debt free will look good on you.. and free online tools are a great first step.

Typing Exercises

I took typing in high school before corrective ribbons were on the electronic typewriters. I was lucky to get to 15 WPM, and that was on a very good day. My typing teacher was awesome. It really wasn't her fault that I just was not that coordinated and often made mistakes reducing my numbers to single digits. Fast forward to today, I teach Microsoft Office and often encourage my students to start or refresh their typing skills by increasing their speed. The website I use for  "learning to type" is typingclub.com where you can easily learn the basics to more advanced techniques. Yes there are advertisements although you can pay for an ad-free premium. I don't benefit from this suggestion, but found the 684 lessons

"Hello, This is Bridget (Or Rachel) from Card Holder Services"

When it comes to running a business, the last thing you need is to be inundated with junk phone calls and the number one pest is "Card Holder Services". Matter of fact, the FTC considers "Bridget from Card Holder Services" to be Enemy #1 . Well, the FTC may not have solved this ongoing problem but I have found help from the customer reviews at Amazon.com. I searched online, then narrowed it down to a couple of options. I was very excited when I found the CPR Call Blocker capable of blocking 1200  (yes, 1200) numbers. Robocallers can change their number and I still can block them!  I reduced the robocallers to my business line within a couple of days of adding this device. CPR Call Blocker V108 - 1200 Number Capacity - World #1 - Block Telemarketing Calls Now! (Amazon.com Affiliate Link but personal review without any payment. Just passing on a great tip!)
