Please? I used to use Quicken at an old job so I am leaning towards that. I don't think I like Microsoft Money (even though it is on my computer already.)
What do you use for a P.C. (sorry Mac users.... )
Thanks for the help,

Honestly, I just use excel, I find the simplicity of it much easier to manage and I am in complete control of what is being calculated.

Does anyone here use this:

My Budget Planner (http://www.mybudgetplanner.com/partner/CreativeHomeMaking/mbpmain.htm)?

It's a $19 download and the screen shots look like something I can make sense of (except, Jim and Linda have more money than I'll ever budget in a month. I wonder if they could spot me the cost of downloading?)

I'm home full-time now, and my husband sent me an email today, "Uh, if you'd ever like to pay the bills, here is how I do it..."

Subtle, dear. Very subtle.

I don't think I need a big, fancy program, but I don't want to have to set up the excel spreadsheet on my own.

I almost downloaded it before I came over here to see if anyone was talking about it. If no one comes in here to stop me, I'm going to download it in a day or two. If I'm out $19, I'm out $19.

www.pearbudget.com is an excel tracking program that is awesome and free! It has been the only tracking program that I can stick with.

you can get quicken free if you buy turbotax ( $20) for cheapest version at Staples. I would not get the full version quicken for $80, get the basic version unless you have a business. Also, big box stores may have it cheaper. Ebay too if someone sells there free version after rebate or free with buying a computer.
