			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are living in a Web 2.0 world—or is it Web 3.0 or 2.1?  I can’t keep it straight.  Anyways, one thing I think most of us can agree on is that money does not go as far as it used to and increasingly, if you’re like me, you don’t really know where all of your hard earned dough goes.</p>
<p>Fortunately, there are quite a few websites out there dedicated to helping people organize their finances and expenditures.  Here are some of the best.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-472" title="Picture 4" src="http://gainfullyunemployed.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Picture-4.png" alt="Picture 4" width="301" height="87" /></p>

<p>You can also take pictures of receipts with your cell phone camera and send them to your account.  This is a very cool tool because it takes out one factor that leads to disorganization of bills, receipts, and money&#8211;time.  Since you can instantly input your expenses, you don&#8217;t have to worry about remembering them later.</p>
