(Couldn't find the right category. Shouldn't there be a [computer: Applications] category?
So, this is an app that keeps track of one's income, investments, property, and spending and related activity to show current and historic net worth at a glance.
Would automatically integrate bank accounts,
investment news, real estate ups and downs, taxes and current credit and debit card spending, etc.
Might encourage saving, or informed choices about what one can afford.

Does (all of?) what you describe. But I like to imagine a literal floating thermometer [sninctown, Apr 23 2013]

Idea utilizes a useful metaphor; insulating yourself through savings
and against inflation. Although more significant would be an
outside temperature thermometer similar to consumer price index,
and inflation rate. No matter what one's personal wealth
thermometer reads it should be important to know how 'cold' it is
outside, meaning how fast your 'heat' will be leeched. |

Some personal accounting software (e.g. GnuCash <link>) can do much of this. |

I have a photograph of a £10 note I look at wistfully, from time to time. |

I have a bundle of £10 notes specially imported each month to
light my Cuban cigars. I used to use twenties, but the
economy has hit all of us fairly hard, I'm afraid, so it was
either that or switch to *gag* Dominicans. And while the
Dominicans were substantially cheaper, it's awfully hard to get
them to stand still long enough while on fire to get my cigar
lit properly. |

If y'all are sufficiently wealthy to afford Internet connectivity, you might still benefit. |

[ytk] Gags aside, you might quit smoking; the savings ... |

Was hoping for comments from our truly wealthy posters, e.g. [MB], but I suppose he has someone responsible for directing someone to perform this function. |

I was told MB only posts on here as part of some tax avoidance scheme. |
