Hi! This team is very excited to present MoneyPatrol as a comprehensive money management and personal accounting application designed to help with personal finance management and personal accounting.
Money management an important aspect of life. The reality is that anything we want to do in life requires money. While most of our adult life revolves around making money, no matter how much money we make, we may feel that it is not enough to meet our current or future needs.
Additionally, due to inflation, the investments we make today may not be enough during retirement. While earning money is relatively easy (just need a good job, right?), having enough money to achieve one’s financial and life goals, or even becoming and staying wealthy is not at all easy or straightforward.
We may have a steady job today, but there is no guarantee that the job will last forever. Layoffs happen and life may get upended in a matter of days. We have personally seen many friends and colleagues, who had worked extremely hard in their companies, getting laid off, and then struggling for months to get another job. Even if they were to land a new job, in many cases, the new job would not pay them as much as they used to earn in their previous jobs. Similarly, factors such as life events, medical emergencies, recessions, economic downturns, inflation, wars, and such things beyond our control, have a negative financial impact on our personal finances. We feel that close monitoring of one’s finances is extremely important in helping successfully weather the challenges and dodge the curve balls that life constantly and unexpectedly throws at us.
Money management is quite a complex activity as most consumers have multiple Bank, Credit Card, and Loan accounts. An average US family has relationships with 10+ Financial Institutions. Having scattered financial data makes it very difficult to get a handle over finances. Hence, money management software applications can be of immense help in managing one’s finances. In the 2010s Mint and Quicken were the dominant products in this space. In present times, even though Mint has been retired by Intuit, users have a variety of options to choose from as there are quite a few money management products available. Despite these options, we feel that MoneyPatrol stands out due to the product’s ability to provide the granularity and comprehensiveness that many of the other products are lacking.
