It depends on the size, complexity and relationships between the data. I would go with an MS Access DB as well. Your client app could use it as a backend without having to install MS Access. This is a commonly used method in many (commercial and otherwise) applications.
I would use XML only if the data was more hierarchical than relational. P.S.: I'd be interested in helping out with or evaluating your Budget application because I have considered rolling my own often enough, but never got around to it. I find the available software in this regard do not come close to my requirements. Let me know if it interests you.
