Don't forget free alternatives...

I was interested in trying out Wesabe before, but I never got around to it. It's online, and it pulls in all of your bank information automatically, and then it recommends where you can save money.

Yodlee is similar to Wesabe and was getting good mentions too on one of the sites I linked to.

Other freeware:
Buddi
GnuCash, the Linux Gnu alternative
Financial Freeware

I’ve used Microsoft Money in the past and was completely in love with it. My husband is a tad bit more simplistic. Now we use a budget book. And by the way welcome to menu plan monday.

Great point, I have heard Money is good, thanks for the tip. I agree with you it is important to be able to track your expenses, I have found that by doing this I can easily figure where I can cut back in order to save more or pay off debt.

Ok, “reins.” Being an editor, I was not about to let that typo slide. :)

My husband and I set up a pretty detailed excel sheet to track our cash flow. It’s been really helpful in keeping reigns around our spending. It’s also a great way to see which areas we can cut back in order to put more in savings. Hurray!
