Tools and Resources
I’m including the ones I use and the ones you tell me about as I go. If you don’t see yours added right away, don’t worry (I add them in batches when I’m not doing other things).
Electric Check Book
This one is super exciting for me in many ways. I’ll just start listing them excitedly:
- I love the design
- I love the free
- I love the sharing aspect
- and that it is unlimited
- I love that it keeps track of money saved.
You can set up an account for large purchases and transfer money each morning until you’ve saved up enough for your own submarine.

New Leaders, the company behind this application is great. They make a bunch of applications, including Twitter for iPhone (yes, two things I’m a giant fangeek of), which can be found at twitterforiphone.com. Electric Check Book in particular is clean, neat, and isolated. It never connects to any bank accounts (so it never gets adjusted by outside forces). You can have an unlimited number of payees. You can invite your friends to share the account if you wish, or at least have access to view it. This is cool if you’re playing with a team. You can see what your friends are doing, and they can see what you are doing.
Great tool for this game especially. Four stars.
Choosing Prosperity Online
A few of my friends have played this and I didn’t discover it until after I’d already started this site. Founder Elyse Hope Killoran has a slate of offers in the realm of consciousness based-coaching. I’m a bit of an idiot and need things to be really big, iconic, one-touch. And so, even after hitting her site though a google search for the game wasn’t able to find it. I’ve included this link here to take people right to it.
Here’s how it is really good:
If you just don’t have time to blog your game (like the folks in the blog-roll on the right) then this is good. It even has a “resistance-meter” (which I admit, I don’t totally understand). Apparently there are around 29k people playing the game, but that number hasn’t changed in awhile, so I’m not sure how accurate it is.
What I’m missing from it is a social aspect (which we’re programming into a new version right now - here’s more on that - and it is not easy to create or replace that aspect.
I’m grateful to Elyse Hope Killoran for the work she’s done to push this forward.
We’re very thankful you enjoy using checkbook. It is a throw back to the original application created for the Mac in the 1980’s. We have big plans for the little app and some day we hope that it will bring free and easy to understand financial intelligence to all. Great for bills, taxes, and basic strategy. You can give your kids an allowance, lend money to your friends or combine all of your outstanding debts in to a group to see where you stand. We hope you continue to find the joy and versatility in Checkbook as much as we have. We know it isn’t perfect but it is and will always remain free.

Holy cow. Comments are super welcome. Especially when they are from the software creators! *blushing, kinda*
So, maybe my interest in turning this into an iPhone application is closer than I thought. I feel an e-mail coming on…

I love that it’s an old app brought forward. Thanks MacEwen, and thanks Kevin, for this fun way to play the Prosperity Game!
