Family Budget

When it's time to get serious about budgeting, you may need the whole family to participate. Family Budget enables a family to manage its collective spending by easily tracking and communicating expenses.

Family Budget allows multiple members of a family to participate in a shared monthly budget. One or more family members sets up a monthly budget by adding/removing budget categories, setting amounts, adding family members from contacts, and then synchronize with the Family Budget web service. Other family members then synchronize their iPhone/iPod Touch with the budget data stored on the web service. Each member may then enter daily expenses and synchronize their data to the Family Budget web service. Expenses and budget updates entered by other family members are downloaded and synchronized to your iPhone or iPod Touch. This is especially useful when one or more family members are away from home.

Your family budget status is prominently visible with two gauges - one for all expenses and one for flexible expenses.
