Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for determining what follow on products should be purchased after the purchase of an initial product, when the follow on products should be purchased, and approximately how much the follow on products will likely cost. Money can be budgeted to purchase the follow on products. Money can automatically be saved for such purchases. Thus, the user can be spared the trouble and inconvenience of having to plan for and save money for the purchase of follow on products. The user can also be spared the problems associated with not having the follow on products when they are needed.
