FINANCIAL ASSISTANT I think this would be a good one to add to the list of personal assistants which would be valuable to have. It could be a great aid to budgeting and guiding investments. It should go beyond simple bookkeeping and offer advice (when it can). If conficts arise in where to spend money, it should be capable of asking questions to determine what you consider to be more important. Additional functionality might include analysis of spending patterns. Where does my money go? Such a question could be answered by this assistant. It might include gentle reminders if you are overspending, or not meeting a payment schedual, or forget something.
