Track your expenses
Wouldn't it be nice to have a bottomless moneybag when you're on holiday? However, the hard reality is that we all have limited funds. Before you start spending your money like there's no tomorrow and realise that you run out of cash for your trip home, it is wise to carefully track the expenses you incurred on your holiday.
Palm users can do that with the pre-installed Expense applet. Although this program gives you the option of displaying the amount you've spent in various currencies, it doesn't allow you to view your total expenditure unless you export the data to Microsoft Excel. In comes ExpenseReport DA. This useful Desktop Accessory gives Expense additional functionality by showing you a report of your total expenditure and displaying them in useful categories like meals, lodgings, and transportation. (Note: You need to install the DA Launcher and Hackmaster for this add-on to work.)
If you prefer something more powerful, try MAM Pro. Also known as the MultiCurrency Account Manager, this versatile program lets you track your transactions in your domestic currencies and up to 100 other foreign currencies.
For Pocket PC users, keeping tabs on your expenses is a breeze with PocketExpense. Like Palm's Expense, it lets you export your expenditure into Microsoft Excel.
