Checkbook Ease Freeware

      Checkbook Ease has one window, divided into three sections, each of which can be accessed at any time. This simple design offers you the following features: 1. You can view your checkbook register and household budget at the same time. 2. This format makes navigation easy between your bank accounts, family budget and checkbook register. You are literally one mouse click away from all major functions while keeping the same view. 3. On one mouse click add or edit your personal budget categories and transfer money to your household budget as well as change colors or window size. 4. You see your household budget while entering a transaction. When you assign a budget category to a transaction, Checkbook Ease Freeware displays your household budget and highlights the selected category and its current balance. This feature allows you to monitor and keep better control of your household budget. The display of the budget and highlighting also occur when you change an existing transaction. 5. Seeing your budget displayed with the current balances allows you to plan ahead since the focus is on the money left to be spent rather than what has been spent. 6. When you are balancing your checkbook, you can edit or add transactions. 7. You can use any previously entered transaction as the starting point for a new transaction, which significantly reduces the amount of keyboard entries. Select a prior transaction and make the changes (date, amount, etc.). Click the new button and a new transaction is entered. 8. When you search transactions for charges to a specific budget category to determine prior expenses, you can display the budget window to easily compare the results to your planned monthly budget. 9. You can shorten the list of transactions viewed at any time by selecting the starting date for viewing. You can limit the list to the current month or year. 10. In the checkbook register, you can show or hide the budget category or memo to make viewing the register easier.
