Money-Managing Software?

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm in need of a software that allows me to micromanage my money: how much I spend on a cup of coffee and how many quarters I pick up on the street, and everything else. Any recommendations?

judging by your screen name I'm guessing you're a christian which leads me to recommend Financial Peace. It not only keeps track of expenditures and income, but savings and tithing/offerings. It really helps you get it under control and change your thinking about money in general.

Microsoft Money.

Although fair warning, it depresses the **** out of me to see how much I spend on some stuff.

Larry Burkett's stuff is great too. My wife and I went through the whole financial peace course and it really changed how we look at money - in a good way. We're not really making any more money, but we're spending less on foolishness and actually have more to spend on things we really enjoy.

Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey is an excellent program, however, there isn't really a viable software component to go along with it. Dave offers a little program on CD but it stinks. You may want to check out Financial Peace and/or The Total Money Makeover (both by Dave Ramsey) and also, for software that is both compatible with those ideals and effective for tracking your money, look into YNAB Pro. more + free trial

I think I'll have to go with Microsoft Money, the big bad monopoly computer software corporations always got the good stuff.

I prefer Quicken but there's nothing wrong with MS Money either.

I definitely prefer Quicken. For PC, you can buy Quicken Basic for like $30.
