Product History (How it evolved):
Expenses / Bills overload:
• How many do I have
• When are they due
• Do I have the money to pay them
• I didn't realize I 'Charged' so much
• I forgot about the Holidays expenses

Manual Tracking was first:
• Make a list; Create a Budget
• Create a manual spreadsheet
• Create separate spreadsheets for each bill & expense
• Devote a lot of time with the calculator

Purchased First PC to manage cash flow:
• Expected software for home use to be available
• Software available is for business use
• Personal expenses need different process
• Business software: guess the budget for the year
• All my budget guesses were wrong (I knew that)
• All I got is a manual effort on the PC (spreadsheets)

Frequent Business Travel:
• Are all my bills paid
• What bills will be in my mail when I return
• Will I be late on any of my bills

Subscribed to Bill Pay:
• Signed up with Bill Payer; and they charged a Fee for this
• Gave the Bill Payer very personal information
• Is my financial information safe
• Will they pay on time (they were late a lot)
• What if they are late making my payments (made a lot of calls to reverse late charges & credit record)

Then, came Tax Filing Time:
• Need to add up tax deductible items
• How to group tax deductible expenses
• Had to move and rented out my house
• How to group rental expenses
• Started a seasonal Side Business
• How and what do I track for the Side Business
• So much time gathering all this information

It was time to Write a Software Program:
• No software to manage personal expenses
• I wrote software for the Bank
• Write my own program in dBase
• Upgrade program to FoxPro
• Many years have gone by and still no software for home use
• Time to make practical software available to others
