A financial calculator can really make an excellent gift. People need to learn more about their finances and to be able to short things out on their own. I started a foreclosure blog to help people avoid foreclosures and I think I should feature some kind of financial calculator to help people out. thanks for giving me this idea!

Great calculator – thanks for that, not sure I agree with the comment above that it would make a great gift though. If I got if for Christmas i’d be pretty upset!;)
