Financial Planning Program

[allycat3630]

Hi all..

Not sure where to post this, but my husband and I are looking for a program to help us determine how much we are spending per month.

Does anyone know of such a thing? Is there a cheap program for this or something that somebody has created on here.

Once again.. sorry if this is posted in the wrong spot.

I used to use Microsoft Money... I have an old version of the program and it has helped me track easily... Not sure if they still make it. It was very easy to use!!!

Good Luck!!!

Hey I started it this month, but all I am doing is tracking in a spreadsheat where we are spending money. Then I plan on going on a cash only budget and keep fixed payments on the bank (or pre-pay)...I love til debt to us part and I plan on reading more when I have all this months tracked expenses!

I second mint.com it links itself to your bank cards (if you want it to) its sooooo easy to use and you can view things as a pie chart. It'll email you weekly and give you a weekly breakdown of what you've spent.

I've used microsoft money for years (10+)..it has a debt reduction planner that was very handy..easy to use charts...to can categorize all your expenses...set budgets...etc... Made a big difference to out lives when we started using it.

was just going to suggest this - you can plug in your dates for your bills, the amount, etc. as well as your own budget and it will tell you if you went over for that month or not.
