You can buy it really cheap. I think it's worth the price just for the good UI ideas. I don't necessarily think that it's a perfect design and it's definitely designed for specific users and uses that won't apply to every application. Still, I think there are lots of good examples of UI design.

Of course, you can also use it to manage your money.
