There’s a new money management website that has a free program called Pocketsmith. On it's web-based calendar, you schedule in your bills, salary, rent, etc. PocketSmith takes the information and generates forecasts which plans your upcoming annual budget. If budgeting and cash flow have been a challenge or you wish there was a calendar program that could help make sure you know when your bills need to be paid, check out **[Pocketsmith](http://www.pocketsmith.com)**. They also have a **[decent blog](http://www.pocketsmith.com/blog/)**.****

Along with Money Magazine, PC Magazine Editor's and Kiplinger's - I too rate **[Mint.com](http://www.mint.com)** as my top choice for a personal financial management tool. Mint's **[blog is excellent](https://www.spiritusfinancial.com/http://www.mint.com/blog/) **and worth following.  The Mint on-line community offers support, Q&A videos and more. Mint.com is a good looking website, easy to follow and simple to use - and it's free. Now there's no reason not to get your personal finances in order.**
