ST. LOUIS, July 30 CRWENewswire- Financial Blog, ChristianPF.com released an article that looks at personal finance iPhone apps and how they can help you manage your finances better. The article looks at money management tools for the iPhone - some well known, and some less common.
You like saving money. Okay, maybe on things other than your high-dollar iPhone. Well, now that you have one, wouldn’t you say it’s time to put it to good use and improve your finances? Here are five iPhone apps that are sure to put you on the right track.
1. Ask Dave Ramsey
That’s right! Dave just released his first iPhone application. The app taps Ramsey’s vast database of questions and answers from his radio show. Learn about all kinds of topics such as insurance, mortgages, taxes, bankruptcy, budgeting, and so much more! Dave’s app is currently the #1 free finance app in the App Store. The great thing about this app is that it gives you a concise, text version of the audio clips – perfect for learning during coffee breaks.
2. Mint.com
Perhaps one of the most robust, free financial applications in the App Store. As discussed in this review of Mint.com, Mint now allows you to track your income for budgeting purposes. With Mint, you can attach many of your online financial accounts to get a bird’s-eye view of your finances. I love the budgeting progress bars, which show you how much you’ve spent in relation to where you are at in the month.
3. PayPal.com
Everyone knows and loves PayPal. But did you know you can send and receive money on your iPhone with the PayPal app? If you’re an online entrepreneur or an eBay enthusiast, PayPal for the iPhone is for you. One hidden but nice feature about this app is that you can set up payment reminders – never forget a payment again!
4. ING Direct
I’m a big fan of the Orange Savings Account, and now fans can manage their ING Direct accounts easily on their iPhone! You can use bill pay in order to take care of your payments on the go. Highly recommended!
5. Balance
For those of you who are looking to replace your balance register, try this free app! It’s simple and straightforward. Easily enter all your accounts, and process transactions as you make them. This is a great alternative to pen and paper.
How To Make Them Work For You
It can be tempting to use finance apps as an alternative to cash. Instead, try taking a hybrid approach – use cash and debit cards along with electronic tracking of your accounts. The envelope system is great for people on a tight budget, as it is visual and therefore difficult to hand over cash without thinking about how much you have left to spend.
So there you have it – five iPhone apps to get your finances on track! Perhaps you use a different platform – maybe Android or Windows Mobile.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL–(CRWENewswire - 07/30/10) - eDiets.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:DIET) — A new study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research confirms what eDiets has known since it pioneered the online dieting industry in 1998: An online weight-loss program can help individuals maintain their results and avoid weight gain.
The study by Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research found that regular users of a weight-loss site developed specifically for the study maintained more of their original weight loss than those who logged in less frequently. Participants recorded their weight, workout times and used the site’s interactive bulletin board to interact with one another.
The positive results validate what eDiets has seen time and again: online tracking, accountability, community and professional support are all key to healthy weight maintenance.
As a leading provider of weight-loss services, eDiets offers the best mix of online and personal support all in one place to help our members achieve their weight-loss goals. Members gain access to hundreds of delicious, portion-controlled recipes that can be switched in and out of their specific plan at the click of a button.
Included are an assortment of tools and features to help members track their progress and stay motivated. Each week, members are encouraged to check in with their current weight and measurements, which are used to automatically calculate meal plans designed to help members stay on track to their goal.
“I joined eDiets for the online support. I was skeptical of the support boards at first, but the Experts and other members online were key sources of accountability. I had people to shoot it to me straight when I needed it, no enablers. I also loved the online meetings; those are great tools to keep me focused and to fill in gaps on things I didn’t know. Without the knowledge I gained from eDiets, I would not have found the power to change my life,” says eDiets Member Tara, who lost 94lbs since joining eDiets.com.
Members can journal, provide feedback and ask questions of our registered dietitians and support staff, online or by phone.
“We allow you to continue your program the way you want to and at your convenience. In this day and age, convenience and accessibility are important,” says eDiets Director of Nutrition Services Pamela Ofstein. “eDiets provides all the tools you need and gives you the education and guidance to help you reach your goals — any time of day.”

TONTITOWN, Ark., July 30, 2010 (CRWENEWSWIRE) — PAM Transportation Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:PTSI - News) announced the award of a United States Department of Energy grant to help fund alternative fuel vehicles and alternative fuel infrastructure. The grant is a cost-share project for 27 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) powered tractors to operate in The Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex and for a Commercial “Public” Access Fast Fill CNG refueling station to be located at 909 Duncan Perry Rd. Arlington, TX.
Dan Cushman, President and CEO, commented, “PAM Transport is extremely pleased to be able to participate in a project like this on a scale large enough to demonstrate our commitment to American energy independence and clean energy programs. 98% of natural gas consumed in America is from North America, while 52% of oil consumed is from outside of North America. Use of engines that use natural gas reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 20% and biogas emissions by 80%. Our participation in the program will not only represent a big step for PAM Transport, but will also facilitate the participation of others by providing a convenient filling station that will cover the southwest corner of the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex.”
The grant award of $2.3 million was a portion of the $13.2 million awarded to the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). The grant money will help the region fund 382 fuel-efficient vehicles and 11 refueling stations. Once implemented, the North Texas projects could save nearly 1.3 million gallons of petroleum fuels, improve air quality, and create jobs.
PAM Transportation Services, Inc. is a leading truckload dry van carrier transporting general commodities throughout the continental United States, as well as in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The Company also provides transportation services in Mexico through its gateways in Laredo and El Paso, Texas under agreements with Mexican carriers.

NCTCOG’s purpose is to strengthen both the individual and collective power of local governments and to help them recognize regional opportunities, eliminate unnecessary duplication, and make joint decisions. NCTCOG serves a 16-county region of North Central Texas, which is centered on the two urban centers of Dallas and Ft. Worth. NCTCOG has 23 member governments including 16 counties,165 cities, 23 school districts, and 29 special districts.
