Finance::Figor Description

Financial assistant Instantiations of the Finance::Figor Perl module assist with automated management of one's finances, collecting data on a regular basis, comparing current balances to those of a month previously, and emailing the results to the user.The usual setup is to run Finance::Figor on a daily basis, which over time collects enough data to show trends, using a graph to overlay the data from the current month with that of the previous month. Major financial events, such as paychecks and rent/mortgage/car payements, tend to occur at the same point each month, so it is often more useful to look at the "delta" of the current balances versus those of a month ago, which is a better representation of the amount of discretionary spending available.This tight feedback loop allows the user to quickly correct aberrant spending habits, or to spend more freely, knowing that their available discretionary spending is above average. It also can help the user -- as in the case of this author, within one day of it happening -- detect fraudulent usage of one's bank accounts.SYNOPSIS use Finance::Figor; use Finance::Bank::SomeBank; my $f = Finance::Figor->new(bank => Finance::Bank::SomeBank, bank_options => ); $f->summarize; $f->mail(to => 'jrandom@example.com', from => 'figor@example.com', subject => "Account Information - " . scalar(localtime), graph => 1, graph_options => ); Requirements: · Perl
