I am out shopping, and want to know how much I can spend before having next weeks bills bounce.

I want to track how much I've been spending on petrol over time.

I want to look at payments to my power company, to check they have billed me correctly.

I want to enter my upcoming bills, and their amounts, as well as income, so I can keep track of them.
