Abstract
A payment card is provided with a display. A user may enter budget amounts and budget expiration dates into a card. Such information may be communicated via a dynamic magnetic stripe communications device such that future purchases adhere to the budget amount and budget expiration date attributes set by a user. Users may set budget information for other users. For example, a parent may set budget information for a child.
