Introducing Ruth!
Back in late 2010, I made some noises about how we’d be bringing on some people to help us make PearBudget run a little smoother. I’m so excited to introduce to you our “Employee #1,” Ruth Szpunar! We pride ourselves on a few things here at PearBudget. At the top of the list is customer [...]
Tip of the Day! (what do you want to know?)
One of our biggest goals when developing PearBudget was (and is!) to make budgeting simple. And one of the things that makes most budgeting programs complex is that there’s so much stuff on the screen. So we’ve tucked away features and made the interface as simple as possible. So — yay! — there are gems [...]
Be sure your e-mail address is correct!
Setting up a budget is exciting, I know. Thrill-a-minute, right? It’s important, though, that you come down off the high to make sure you’ve entered your e-mail address correctly when you create your account. I know you type your e-mail address every single day. Multiple times in a day, even. Despite that, it’s still possible [...]
Searching the FAQs
We’ve added a search box on the PearBudget FAQ page, to hopefully help you find the answers you’re looking for. Just type in your search terms, and the FAQ page will filter out the answers that don’t have the terms you enter. If you feel like testing it out, you can try typing in “donut”. [...]
Holy cats!
Holy cats! Tumblr apparently doesn’t tell you by e-mail that people have asked you questions. Just saw for the first time that a bunch of you have asked questions here and have been waiting for answers. So sorry about that! We’ll start replying to them, but if you need a faster response, feel free to [...]
Update: We were able to get the site up not too long after we posted this
Update: We were able to get the site up not too long after we posted this. (We don’t want you thinking the site’s still down!) Many of you have probably already seen a few tweets from us about some downtime we’re having today. I wanted to post a quick note here for those of you [...]
Pricing Changes for PearBudget
Just a quick announcement regarding PearBudget pricing. These types of notes are never fun to write. I’ll start off with the good news, then. If you currently have an account with PearBudget, your subscription price will not be changing! You signed on at a certain price point ($3/month or $30/year), and we are going to [...]
Skype with us
We know that, sometimes, e-mail doesn’t cut it. A few days ago, I gave you my cell number, to call if you have questions that are best served by phone. There are also times when being able to share your screen in real-time is important, or when you might otherwise need to do a video [...]
Setting up 2011 (part 2)
The other day, we mentioned that we’d roll out a page for you to use to set up 2011. We’ve got it in place, at pearbudget.com/set_up_2011. You’ll see a table with: each of your irregular categories the amount you spent on each category last year the average you spent per month (and how many months [...]
804.814.2064
That’s my number. (804) 814-2064. It’s my cell. Like, the number Sarah uses to tell me to pick up bread when I’m in town. It’s also, now, the number you can use to reach me. I want to make sure that if you have questions, or if there’s anything else I can help you with, [...]
If that didn’t answer your question, get in touch with us by e-mail, at help@pearbudget.com.
