moneyGuru 1.1 - Personal finance management application. (Shareware)

MacUpdate - 46 min 47 sec ago
moneyGuru 1.1moneyGuru is a personal finance management application. With it, you can evaluate your current financial situation so you can make informed (and thus better) financial decisions. Most finance applications have the same goal, but moneyGuru's difference is in the way it achieves it.
