                        RE:     Example of  a Financial Facts report                                                                                Originated:  September  2004        


        This scenario is within context of my helping  a supposed couple  named  Bill/Jenny,  via the Internet,   do the bookkeeping  of  their personal finances as they utilize  Jim Bramer's   eEnvelope  system.  Please Click Here and get an idea of how I now help them have info to enable them to prudently do their everyday buying, etc.

        One of the reasons that Bill and Jenny sought my help at this point in their life was that they were borrowing money unwisely and they had run up some rather large debts ----  that had nothing to do with buying a residence or acquiring a vehicle, etc.    Some of it was even carried over from their College days. 

        So I encouraged them to monitor this info and receive at least monthly which would look something like this: 

        As of: xx/xx/xx

        We wanted the report to show the three categories above , namely:

            1>  The amount of the original debt 
            2>  Amount owed now,  and
            3>  Information  if  any of the agreed payments were due now and has not yet been made.   

        We concluded the best way to do this was to use an Excel doc and not include such info within the QBooks software as  Jim suggests when you Click Here .

       I can only be contacted Online at Brad@rpfin.org     Click Here and find out why.
