SPRING LAKE PARK, MN - January 9, 2006 - Snowmint Creative Solutions LLC, the leader in budgeting software for the Mac, today announced the release of Budget version 5 which adds, Intel compatibility, enhanced data analysis, 3D graphics, and a host of other improvements to its already impressive list of features.

The new data analysis feature provides the user with new views into where they are spending their money and how best to manage their funds to stay within their budget limits. "Budget is the only home finance software for Mac OS X on the market today that is proactive, telling you how much you have to spend for something before you spend it, rather than how much you spent after the money is gone", said Ron Hooper, Vice President of development.

Budget is ready to run natively on the new Intel Macs when they become available. Kyle Hammond, President for Snowmint Creative Solutions said, "The switch over to Intel based Macs should be very simple for our customers. They only have to make sure they have the latest version of our products. All of our customers receive free upgrades, so it's simply a matter of downloading version 5 of Budget and replacing their older application."
