What is the best personal finance software?

The best personal finance software, in my opinion, is actually a free website called www.Mint.com. The website links with your bank account and can track how much you are spending and what exactly you are spending it on. It allows you to create budgets for whatever you want and notifies you when you are approaching your set limit and when you have exceeded your budget.

The layout, in a way, is set up like a bank statement with categories. For instance, if you go to Starbucks it will automatically list those purchases under a "coffee house" category but let's say you go to Wawa, then what? If it has no idea what Wawa sells it lists it under uncategorized. So if you buy mostly coffee from Wawa you can set the category as "coffee," if you buy gas you can list it as "gas" or create a different category. now continuing to use coffee as an example, here is what I really like... the site can also show you by category how much you are spending on something per month. Sometimes we don't realize how much we spend when we are nickel and dimed. With this tool you can see that you are spending $200 a month on coffee and you may be able to cut back and save yourself some money.

The site also allows you to create goals. Here you can customize what it is you want to do, what time frame you want to do it in and how much it will cost. It will then tell you how much you need to put aside each month to reach that goal or you can input how much you can afford to put aside per month and it calculates and tracts your progress. If you will reach your financial need for this goal 4months early it will tell you, conversely it will also inform you if your goal will not be reached in time based on your current financial contributions.

As a final note, what makes this so awesome, for me anyway, it that it has an application that can be downloaded to your iPhone or Android.

I currently use mine to help bring up my credit. I am currently keeping track of all our expenses including our mortgage payments, car loan, insurance, energy/gas bills, cable, internet, phones etc.
I also have my own business at home. I dont work alot but that is another benefit, I keep track of my income and outcome I'll say lol I keep track of my expenses and figure out how much profit I have.
