What do you use to organize your money/finances? Microsoft Money, Quickbooks, something better? I need to get things better organized.

    Quicken
  • Kelly T. replied Jan 22nd
    QuickBooks - syncs to my online bank account and downloads data. Good for running the occasional report reminding you that you spent 1k on beer last month.

    My Blue Folder - all bills and any financial crap goes into this folder, every Sunday I sort through the stack and pay any bills, etc

    Things (Mac OSX) - a ToDo list program

    I've used Quicken for years. Microsoft Money is a really good program as well but I'm used to the Quicken interface, so I stick to that.

    Hey Chris, I use Cha-Ching a cool Mac app. You can try http://Mint.com or http://Expensr.com too, two good web apps for money management.

    My wife and I use money for our personal fincances. I am looking at other sources since we are becoming a mac only family and startnig a business. Quickbooks is looking nice so far.

    I like http://Mint.com. Sure beats the old way of stuffing the money in the jar, writing down how much I have on paper and burying it in the yard.

    I use Cha-Ching as well. I don't know that it would be good for organizing a business but it works for my personal use.

    I'm trying to start organizing it using http://expensr.com
  • Mike L. replied Jan 22nd
    I'm scared to death to use http://mint.com but if I take any route, that would be the one.

    I like http://www.clearcheckb... It's simple, I can check my account balances anywhere, and you can even upload transactions via IM or SMS.

    @Mike
    So far Mint has been a great experience. Your financial info is out there anyway. Mint is not going to be the reason you get ripped off, if and when you do.

    for a business check out MYOB (mind your own business) http://www.myob.co.nz

    using a mac and definately need to check out cha-ching.. how complicated is this software ? i'm using it for personal life and will prefer a dumb app to start with..
  • Michael F. replied Jan 22nd
    I've used Microsoft Money and just got the deluxe addition today. I need to get more organized with my finances (one of my resolutions this year).

    I've also set up http://Mint.com to keep track of a few of my accounts but it doesn't recognize one of the banks that I use so its frustrating...
  • Chris C. replied Jan 24th
    GREAT! Thanks everyone for all the input. Currently, I'm using Excel and it has become such a pain.

    Mint seems to be a popular choice (although I agree it's a bit scary putting all that sensitive info in one place), but I think I'll give it a try. I may also play around with Money. I'll write back when I know. THANKS!

    Mac Freelance or cha-ching. Anything Microsoft is the devils work
  • Todd E. replied Jan 27th
    I'm using http://clearcheckbook.com as well. I really like the sms integration. A quick text message and it's tracked. Don't have to bother keeping receipts and then making sure I mark them later.
