<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.moneysmartz.com/weblog/archives/new_and_notable/"><img alt="New and Notable Web Sites" align="left" border="0" vspace="2" hspace="2" src="http://www.moneysmartz.com/styles/images/nav_icon_currents.gif" /></a><img alt="Expensr:  Where did all the money go?" align="right" border="0" vspace="5" hspace="5" src="http://www.moneysmartz.com/weblog/weblog/images/expensr.gif"  />Tracking income and expenses is a cornerstone of effective financial management.  Unfortunately, as evidenced by a woefully low savings rate, many Americans are struggling to make sense of their spending.  If you are not willing to invest the time and money to buy a more comprehensive financial management tool like Quicken, then <a href="http://www.expensr.com/">Expensr</a> offers a quick, free, and easy toe in the water to track your daily spending.  Throw in a few social networking tools and Expensr has the makings of a painless point of entry into the often mundane and tedious world of personal penny pinching.</p>]]></description>
