Real Life: SplashMoney 
Jimmy takes business trips to Asia that often last for weeks. It's easy for him to lose track of spending, so he uses SplashMoney to periodically create reports that monitor his progress. The currency converter lets him quickly understand the percentage of his budget he's spent, so he doesn't have to mentally switch between dollars and yen (and sometimes other currency). Before the trip ends, he can tell whether he's been frugal. If he has been, he rewards himself with a spectacular meal before returning home. |
