As I discussed in the report about the technology that I tried, I wasn’t very impressed. I first have to say that I have had no previous experience with using a tool such as Microsoft Excel. I think the most difficult item of this assignment is trying to find a source that you feel comfortable using and then trying to figure out how to use it. With Micrsoft Excel I went on-line to complete some research about the database and also used the pamphlet that came with the microsoft. It seemed as though the material was more about trying to sale merchandise then it was trying to help the consumer navigate the system.
I won’t be using this source for any further financial analysis. I am satisfied with the paper and pen method that my husband and I use. I am glad that I learned from this assignment and now I know what type of resources are there to help you organize finances. I am also excited about fulfilling this life long goal. Reading and learning more about marathon runners motivated me to push myself harder each and every day and to keep this goal in sight.
