Whenever the homeless people on the drag ask me for money, I’m honest when I say I have less than them. Because sometimes, or most of the time, I suck at keeping track of money. And most people do if they are already broke most of the time.

The point is Xpenser.

Xpenser is a network that lets you keep track of expenses through the phone, email, Twitter, or IM. As soon as the COOP robs you for books, text Xpenser. As soon as someone steals your purse from the Union, email Xpenser (your phone is stolen).

Yet, something tells me that in theory this is a great idea. In reality, the broke feeling will never fade.
