OpenMoneyBox is an application designed to manage small personal money budgets in the easiest way.
The idea was born when my informatic system was made by the awesome AMIGA 500. It managed through a basic interface and a dropdown menu a file containing three small arrays:
- Funds
- Credits
- Debts
At the end of each month it generated a text document where all management operations were stored.
The basic idea is still substantially the same.
Definitions
- Fund: every kind of saving e.g. cash, a bank account, where you add your income and such;
- Credit: money other people owe you;
- Debt: money you owe to somebody else.
