Recommended books for learning more about finance:

• Rich Dad’s Cash Flow Quadrant by Robert T. Kiyosaki. A new book from the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, a book originally published in 1998 and a classic. • Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robyn. Complementary books to The Profitable Writer for beginning writing entrepreneurs:

Chapter 11
MoneyControl (Mac, iPhone) NOTE: Do not confuse with the stock portfolio app of the same name. A simple app to use to track your expenses and income. The app's dashboard provides a visual way to view your expenses and income. Designed for writers who are just beginning to track their finances, this app is easy to use.
YNAB You Need a Budget (Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android). A useful tool for setting a budget and sticking to it. One nice feature is the ability to mark recurring expenses, allowing you to cancel automatic yearly charges before they occur. There is a free trial. You can also link the program to your primary bank account, savings account, and emergency account.
Spendee: Money Manager & Budget Planner. (IOS and Android and Web). Spendee is easy to set up and use. You can customize categories. The cost is reasonable. People are reporting issues with hooking up to their bank accounts, but worth considering if you are not interested in linking to your online accounts. Although a recent entry, Spendee is already getting industry recognition. As the product matures, it should evolve to be an excellent alternative for those with simple financial business needs.
Dollarbird: (iOS, Android) – Free. Dollarbird uses a different approach than other apps. Your balance appears on a calendar, and when you log an expense, your record is updated, allowing you to see when you are getting close to your balance. You cannot tie your bank account to the app. Fudget: (iOS, Android) Free, there is a cost for no-ad version. The app works well for short-term budgets with a specific goal, for example, as a budget for a conference or a trip.
