Manage your Money in GTalk with Budget Bot

Managing your money these days is a big deal if you are not using any tools. But if you are using GTalk, then you don't have to worry because, Budget Bot is there to manage your Finances.

To use Budget Bot, you have to add it in your IMified widgets. You can learn that from my post on Enhancing your Gtalk.


Here is the conversation with BUDGET BOT.

How to use BudgetBot:
To record a transaction, type the amount spent or deposited followed by the transaction type, then any details of the transaction. For example:
58.43 h
60 b monthly cable bill
500 d payday!
The BudgetBot currently recognizes the follo
wing transactions:
b => bills
h => household
e => entertainment
t => transport (e.g. car petrol, public transport fares)
o => dining out / take away / etc.
d => deposit
m => miscellany
If no expense type is included, the expense will be recorded as a miscellany expense.
To get your current balance, type 'balance' or 'bal'
For a report of your spending, type 'report' or 'rep'
For a listing of all your transactions, type 'list'
You can limit a report or list to one month by typing the first 3 letters of the month after 'report'
For example, 'rep Aug'


A few Screenshots to get you familiarized.
