→Budget Master
Budget Master allows the user to create up to 30 budget categories and up to 10 income categories. Each month is divided into four pages. Page l is for income items while the remaining pages are for budget input.
Once the budget is set up, input andupdating are very easy. In fact, themost time-consuming parts of thisprogram are the save-read functions.It takes 8-9 minutes to save or readregardless of how much data you'veinputted.

After entering the save orread modes, the program will ask youto verify that you want to execute thefunction before activating the read-save routines. When a read or saveroutine is completed, the program letsyou know via a sounding of distinctivetones. Other things I like about this programinclude the ease with which onecan correct errors, the easy to readscreen and, in general, the attention todetail that is evident in such smallthings as a red warning indicator,actually a colored square, thatappears next to any expense item thatexceeds the amount budgeted for it.The program designer deserves a paton the back for including the Duplicatecommand, which can save users a lotof time when setting up a budget. The user can make corrections orupdate amounts simply by typing overthe figure already entered. ==Ease of Use: == This is one of the easiest
