			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lately, I have been living a financial chaos; I couldn&#8217;t tell how much money I had in the bank, lent to friends or in my Pocket! (ok the last one was exaggeration&#8230;I could count it anytime <img src='http://www.emadashi.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> ).</p>
<p>I decided to put an end to this, so I started looking for a software to track my financial status; went through many solutions starting from Excell sheets passing by <a title="http://www.gnucash.org/" href="http://www.gnucash.org/">GNUCash</a>, <a title="http://www.mechcad.net/products/acemoney/index_lite.shtml" href="http://www.mechcad.net/products/acemoney/index_lite.shtml">AceMoneyLite </a>, and ending with <a title="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/accountingexpress/FX101729681033.aspx?ofcresset=1" href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/accountingexpress/FX101729681033.aspx?ofcresset=1">Microsoft Office Accounting Express</a> (the latter makes me want to start my own business! wow).<br />
Nothing seemed to meet my simple requirements of &#8230;just&#8230;tracking my money!</p>
<p>Then I found it! <a title="https://www.clearcheckbook.com" href="https://www.clearcheckbook.com">ClearCheckBook</a>; very simple, web-based and effective! you can define Your Accounts (your pocket, bank,..etc), define your expenses and income categories (Food, Gas,&#8230;etc), and insert your transactions depending on the Accounts and Categories. and you are on!</p>
<p>here are some screenshots that you might find interesting:</p>

<p>enjoy managing your finance!</p>
<p>p.s. there are some competitiors like <a title="http://www.mint.com/b/" href="http://www.mint.com/b/">Mint </a>and <a title="http://www.myspendingplan.com/" href="http://www.myspendingplan.com/">MySpendingPlan</a> but Mint makes it compulsory to have an existing account with a known bank to their service, and MySpendingPlan had many JavaScript errors while I was browsing.</p>
