MANAGING YOUR MONEY 9.0: Connections to the World 

New Capabilities Provide Connectivity and New Price Provides Economic
Value

FAIRFIELD, Conn., Oct. 9, 1992--It's 2 A.M., and busy executive "Mary
Smith" is doing some late night financial work. Using Andrew Tobias'
Managing Your Money 9.0 (MYM), Mary balances her checkbook and makes
arrangements to have next month's bills paid electronically when she will
be in London. That reminds her about the hot new Asian fund she's been
tracking, so she has MYM dial into an online quote service and check on
it.

As she's automatically updating her portfolio, she notices that the price
of her favorite American stock has been fluctuating. With a few simple
commands, she tells Managing Your Money to keep tabs on the stock and
alert her if it drops below a certain price. The next day at 11:00 A.M.,
as she's flying across the country, MYM automatically checks the stock,
notes that it has dropped and beeps Mary on her SkyTel pager. Mary picks
up an airplane phone, makes a call and trades the stock.

The latest version of Managing Your Money, Version 9.0, allows people like
Mary to stay in touch with their finances at all times. The updates and
enhancements of MYM 9.0 offer features that provide complete money and
portfolio management as well as electronic links to the markets and the
world for under $50.

"Managing Your Money has always helped individuals to organize most aspects
of their personal finances," said John Merson, MECA's vice president of
sales and marketing. "In this mobile and up-to-the-second information
society, many people have the desire to be more in control of their
finances, be it the connectedness to the market and price fluctuations,
paying bills on time without concern, automatic integration to their tax
preparation program, or even to be able to import data from their former
software package, such as Quicken. MYM 9.0 provides this control and the
freedom from worry, and more."

MYM 9.0 now allows users to pay bills electronically through Checkfree or
Prodigy's BillPay USA; make investment transactions through Dow Jones,
Fidelity Online Xpress, Compuserve or Prodigy's PCFN; automatically update
stock prices as often as desired and even contacts users via a SkyTel
pager, onscreen notifications, by printer or fax.

Investment management electronic links include:

* QuoteLink - This feature automatically updates investment portfolios and
tracks any pricing index through Compuserve or Dow Jones News Retrieval
Service.

* Market Watch - This feature monitors prices at user-defined intervals to
keep you current.

* Price Alarm - This warns you when your target price or stop loss has been
reached via SkyTel pager, onscreen notifications, by printer or fax.

* BillPay USA payments - PRODIGY service users accessing BillPay USA can
now download these transactions to MYM through MYMIC, MYM's new import
function.

* Fidelity Online Xpress (FOX) and PRODIGY's Personal Computer Financial
Network (PCFN) - Only MYM allows you to download any transactions and
quotes from FOX or PCFN, eliminating the need for reentering these
transactions.

A top-seller since 1984, MYM 9.0 enables individuals to analyze complex
problems, make decisions and increase productivity and personal net worth
by organizing and controlling personal finances. Using state-of-the art
pull down menus, mouse support, enhanced graphics and simple help
