Budgets are tightening around the nation as rising costs hit families when it comes to fuel and food. Parents can’t spend the money they once could on great family scheduling tools. Even with budgets tight, families still need to keep in order and on track.

Three online tools that will help you schedule your family’s time, track family chores , and will help parents with tacking money – which is so greatly needed right now – are:

• Famundo
• ChoreBuster
• MoneyTrackin

Let’s break them down.

Famundo

An awesome online calendar that incorporates your calendar, address book, various family lists, and even to-do’s for the whole family. You have a complete family central right at your fingertips.

There are also some great additional features such as synching with Outlook and a family document central section called the Library. All around, Famundo is a great tool for families to keep in sync with each other – for free!

ChoreBuster

How do you keep chores in-line? How do you make sure everyone has a fair list of chores to complete? Well, ChoreBuster will do it for you. With just a few inputs of information, ChoreBuster takes the pain away from handing out chores.

All you need to do is enter names and all the chores that are needed to be done throughout the home. You specify the level of difficulty for each, and the frequency of each chore. With Just this amount of information, you will have a schedule of chores at your fingertips.

There are two things I love about ChoreBuster. One, is that it is FREE. And two, it will email your chore list to you daily or weekly, so you never need to log in unless you have changes. So easy!

MoneyTrackin

Times are rough right now with prices increasing on fuel and food. Our families are taking a direct impact as our paychecks just don’t seem to stretch as far as they once did. People literally are living paycheck to paycheck.

As the paycheck thins, tracking how we spend each penny so that we know where are money is and where it is going has never been more important. We need to track our money, so more is kept with our family in mind.

Check out the site and realize the help it can give to you and your family.
