It's a good idea to look after your day-to-day finances and make sure that you have enough money to pay for your bills and look after your costs. It's too easy to pay for something you can't afford and be in a situation where you run out of money at the end of the month. Thus we turn to budgeting, where we make sure we make sure that we can pay for the items we want and make sure we don't get in to debt. However, when you need to save for something long-term, then we need another solution, so we can plan for the future.

PocketSmith is an online service that enables you to setup long-term forecasts for the future so you can make sure you put away enough cash for a project such as a replacement car or similar. Quite honestly, the website is superbly designed and looks like a professional Mac application, rather than a pure online-only site.
