Help Save Our Friend’s Life
This post isn’t really about budgeting, but we hope you understand. We need your help. A good friend of ours, Amit Gupta, has a very serious case of Leukemia. If he doesn’t find a bone marrow match and get a transplant soon, he will die. And “soon” isn’t, like, “some time in the next year.” [...]

How to Teach Your Kids About Money
I loved this piece on teaching kids about money: My dad taught me cashflow with a soda machine. While I don’t know that it’s a super-practical method for most people, it seems like a great way to teach things like how to invest your money, how to handle lean times, how to handle times of [...]
A New Calendar, and Text Inputs for International Users

More mobile-friendly categories
We just added a small feature that I wanted to share with you. It’s subtle, but will hopefully make things easier for you if you use PearBudget on your smartphone. On the normal PearBudget website, your categories on the “Enter a Receipt” page are listed in alphabetical order. That had been the case with the [...]

We’re going to be working on the servers a bit. We’re hoping that the downtime will actually only be about 15 minutes, [...]
