Comments:
Shp programs are currently free, but I have spent hundreds of hours coding them. If you would like to make a small donation, it would be greatly appreciated since I have worked very hard to make these programs better for the community.

System Requirements:
- Windows Mobile 6.5, 6.1, 6, 5, Pocket PC 2003
- VGA, QVGA, WVGA, WQVGA, QVGA Square
- .NET Compact Framework 2.0+

Current devices tested on and confirmed working:
HTC Touch Pro 2

Program Information:
Shp Finance is a program for Windows Mobile to help you with your monthly budget. There are four tabs when you open the application. The first is the Income tab, where you enter in your income amounts, the frequency of your pay rate (hourly, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly), tax percentage, bonus amount, bonus taxes, and any overtime hours along with how much your overtime is worth (0.5x - 3.0x). When adding or editing an income item, you may also enter any pre-tax and post-tax deductions (health insurance, 401(k)) that are removed from your paycheck each pay period. The second tab is for Expenses, where you enter in all of your monthly expenses, how much they cost, and what day they're due (optional). Shp Finance automatically calculates how much (in percentage) of your monthly net pay is used by each expense. In the third tab, you can manually keep track of your ledger in your checking account by adding your credits and debits. Selecting Credit (+) will automatically give you a list of your income sources to auto-fill the amounts, and selecting Debit (-) will give you your expenses. The fourth and final tab is the Wallet tab. Here, you can store your personal information including credit card numbers, account numbers, logins for websites, SSN, and any other personal data you'd like to keep on hand. All the information is encrypted in the file, so people can not see your data. Password protection is recommended for files with this data.

There are options to password protect your files, notify you of upcoming expenses when a profile is loaded, an option to open your last opened profile when the program loads, save your files in a backup location, and a few more. All information is saved in MBF files, so you can create multiple profiles if you wish, or have a different file for each month!

Good to hear! I have too, but the best I found on freewarepocketpc was an app that only does monthly expenses and no budgeting...not much of a point, lol.

Let me know what you think of it!

Thanks for the comments, guys.

Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see added to the app, functionality or visual. I built the app for myself, so I don't really know other things people might want. Any ideas will be considered.

I'd like to see you add your bank account numbers, ssn, date of birth, and mother's maiden name...that would be fantastic! That would help me tremendously with my budget. :D Seriously though, it is a nice app. Good work!

Good ideas! These are things I will look into. Thanks.

I've also added a donate button to the main post. I will not continue working on this until everyone donates $200 each.

lol, j/k :D

Can anyone confirm if this runs on .NET Framework less than 3.5? I'd like to find out what the minimal framework version is.

Thanks, rainfreak. I noticed your sig says that you're willing to surrender your server resources for apps. :) Would you mind hosting this app so I can provide a nice download link on freewarepocketpc.net?

No problem, I would be glad to. I am getting ready to leave my office but tonight from home I will download the app and the upload it to my server. I'll pm you the link so that you can add it to freewarepocketpc.net and wherever else.

Thats Fantastic!! I also noticed it does not have an icon for the menu. I think you're definitely on to something here. I've for a while for a good finances app and this in its first version is better than anything else ive seen.

woody88 03-06-2009 07:57 PM

Re: myBudget 1.0 - Monthly budget application
 
since this is dealing with more confidential data versus other people's phone numbers, how about getting an option out at the beginning of the application to see if you want to use a password unlock the application? and of course a no password option should be available too!

Thanks a lot. That means so much to hear! I'm still trying to figure out how to add icons to the application. Nothing I try works. I'm kinda figuring things out as I go. I've been coding in VB6 since it came out about 10 years ago (and vb5 and vb4 before that), and I just started using Visual Studio .NET for VB.NET and C# applications about a month ago, so there are still some things that are confusing the crap out of me, lol.

This will definitely be an option later on, as I've already planned on doing it. This 1.0 version is really more of a beta. I wanted to test the waters to see if people would even be interested in something like this, and it looks like they are, so I will be adding options to the program very soon, of which will be a password option. This will be in either the next release, or the one after that, but definitely soon.

There's no license. I'm not sure where he got that information, since it's only been out for a day, lol.

This is not shareware, it's freeware. :)

Re: [3/6/09] myBudget 1.0 - Monthly budget app (QVGA & VGA)
 
Update:

I've been working on a few things for the version 1.1 release (should be sometime later this week). These include the following:

- Option for password protecting the app
- Option for notification of upcoming expenses. (user can choose between next 1-7 days)
- Addition of Due Date for expenses (will not be required). This will show as a day of the month (i.e. 25th, 2nd, etc)
- Addition of post-tax paycheck distributions (401k, Insurance, etc).
- Flirting with the idea of adding an "Hourly" pay option, but that would require another box for hours per week, and Windows Mobile doesn't really give me much room to work...lol. I'd like to hear some second opinions about this option...
- Not that the app needed to be any smaller, but I've cleaned up the code a lot...preparing for the future, I guess.
- I'm also considering re-organizing the income tab to be kinda like the expense tab is, with a list-view of income that would show kinda like this:
Code:

  [Amt      Desc      Freq    Tax]
  [--------------------------------]
  [$500.00  myJob    Weekly  25%]
  [$275.00  Bonus    Monthly  30%]
  [$120.38  Overtime  Weekly  25%]

This would make the income section MUCH more user-customizable, and allow for much more free space on the income tab that could be used for the post-tax distributions like mentioned above (401k, health ins, etc), which would also be in a list-view.

Let me know what you guys think of this...

The way I've done the coding so far, your myBudget 1.0 saved profiles will load into version 1.1 just fine.

Re: [3/6/09] myBudget 1.0 - Monthly budget app (QVGA & VGA)
 
Those are some very cool features that you are adding into the app. My only suggestion would be a way to export your data out in either a flat file or xml file for printing, email, etc. To me this would mak eit a pretty complete package.

I agree. An xml file would be great for archiving and the chance to look at the entire thing at once. Keep up the great work!

I could actually export all of the data fairly easily into an Excel sheet, if that would be preferred. I deal with that sort of thing daily at my job (I'm a developer), so it wouldn't be too difficult.

Would an Excel file be better than an XML file? Personally, I'd like it better, but I'd rather hear what you guys suggest.

Thanks, though. That's a GREAT idea!

An excel sheet would be good. Easy to deal with.

Re: [3/6/09] myBudget 1.0 - Monthly budget app (QVGA & VGA)
 
Ok, this is definitely going to take a while. Since I'm switching to a new format for the Income interface, I may have to scrap the backwards compatibility for MBF files, sorry. I could code it, but it would be a lot of unnecessary code that really doesn't need to be there.

Once I'm done with that, I'll start working on the Excel exporting.

rainfreak 03-08-2009 07:33 PM

Re: [3/6/09] myBudget 1.0 - Monthly budget app (QVGA & VGA)
 
Yeah Excel would be good too. Actually, you could add the Excel export functionality into the current version and an excel import function into the new build. This would allow users to not have to re-enter everything because the new build would import all of their information form the original build. Just a thought...

Great idea. Im sure lots of people are already using the program in depth so that would make the transition much easier.

This is a good idea, but I've already completely torn apart the Income tab. I might add the functionality to import 1.0 files somehow...we'll see.

If not, it'll be worth it. This new version should be pretty nice. :)

Re: [3/6/09] myBudget 1.0 - Monthly budget app (QVGA & VGA)
 
Holy crap, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get v1.1 done this week, but I will be posting some teaser images of the new layout pretty soon most likely.

The way it's looking, v1.1 will be at least DOUBLE the file size of 1.0, and I keep getting crazy ideas to add into it. I'm going to encrypt the data that's stored in the .mbf files so that a text editor will only see gibberish instead of the details. Since I'm adding so much to this, there's a lot of field validation going on as well, and that's taking up a lot of the time. I will keep posting in this thread when the status changes.

I REALLY hope you guys will like this new version because I've been spending night and day on it. I even updated my VisualStudio .NET at WORK with the Windows Mobile 6 Pro SDK and my emulator with 6.1 images...this could get dangerous. lol
