Track Your Expenses with Cash Flow Statement !
It is all about personal finance. The most important part of personal finance is a personal budget.
The term budget generally means a list of planned expenses and incomes. Any personal budget has a goal to
achieve. It can be, for example, a personal debt reduction plan, or increasing savings plan, or just
to lower monthly bills. In order to achieve a budget goal, the budget must be at least balanced when
expenses and incomes compensate each others. But, there is common enemy threatening any budget. And,
it is..., yes, unexpected and hidden expenses. Nobody is secured from non-planned expenses. But,
definitely, they should be cut off as soon as identified. The controlling expenses is critical to
personal budgeting. A failure of such control means only one thing - not any of your goals can be
achieved!
There is an array of approaches to control expenses and spending habits. But the start point is to create and maintain own
cash flow statement. A cash flow statement is a report that shows incoming and outgoing money during a
particular period. For an individual, no bookkeeping approach is more important than the cash flow statement ,
which projects cash inflows and outflows for a specific period of time. By tracking changes in balance sheet
(cash flow) this statement serves as a warning bell to alert when a cash flow problem may be coming.
The Cash Diary Pocket PC is a tool that helps to maintain your personal
cash flow statement. It helps you identify and categorize all expenses, breaking them into categories and line
items, time-frames, and other detailed clustering. Make sure you have enough well-defined categories to capture
your true spending. Putting too much into a miscellaneous category makes it harder to track what you have spent
and harder to control your spending habits.
But, all these means, including Cash Diary Pocket PC, are effective only when there are commitment and a lot of
self-discipline. Anyway, try to track expenses from now. There are more things to discover!

Export Cash Flow Statement To Desktop PC
Cash Diary allows to export your cash flow statement
in a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file. CSV is an ASCII text file where the data lines are organized
so each column value is separated by a comma from the next column value. Each row starts a new line.
Below is an example of a Cash Diary export file (a cash flow statement):
"Date","Category","Amount","Memo"
"25-05-05","Parking","-2,95",""
"25-05-05","Foodstuffs","-87,95","ALDI"
"26-05-05","Gasoline","-67,45",""
"26-05-05","Parking","-2,30",""
The CSV Export file will be saved on your Pocket PC (in a folder of your choice: Business or Personal).
The file will have the extension .csv reserved for the CSV file type.
This file can then be easily exported to your Desktop PC via the ActiveSync program or "manually"
via Windows Explorer. You can open a CSV file in Excel (either by double-clicking in Windows or by
using File | Open in Excel) for further analysis.

the money you‘ve spent under different categories within a selected date range.
You can also export these statistics in a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file.

Changing the Decimal Symbol and the Digit Grouping Symbol
Due to the difference in how Europeans and Americans (and others in other countries) represent digit
grouping symbols and decimal symbols, a complicated problem can occur. What do you do then? Well,
let‘s take a look.
In the US, commas (",") are used as grouping symbols, and periods (".")
as decimal symbols. So, in US you would write 38,420.23 whereas in
Europe the same value would appear as 38.420,23. The value, however,
is the same or "Thirty-eight thousand, four hundred twenty, and twenty-three one hundredths" of something.
Cash Diary allows you to set your own Digit
Grouping Symbol. |
