Recommend me a personal banking program... Microsoft Money??

Hi

just graduated this summer, started my job today as a structural engineer... and licking my financial wounds from overspending when in peru for 5 weeks.

i have seen the reviews of microsoft money on amazon but they are not the best, so was wondering if anyone on here has a program they have bought which they use to monitor their spendings??

if this is in the wrong forum can mods please move this thread!

thanks
iain

  • There have been several posts about Microsoft Money in this forum. They have all been positive. I have used Quicken for several years and haven't felt the need to change. You can also do the same sort of thing with Excell if you've got a bit of time to set it up.

    I have used Excel for the last few years and its an amazing bit of kit and relatively simple to use.

    Use Microsoft Money 2005 and as far as I am concerned it was the best money I've ever spent. With the information on this website and using Ms Money to keep track of everything I've been able to finally feel in control of my finances, balance my accounts and plan for future bills.

    I fully recommended it.
