Does anyone know if we can talk about useful products we've found here? I've discovered a budgeting program and found it absolutely brilliant, so much so that debt free wannabes like me will probably find it life changing. And nope, don't work for the company. I'm just unsure of forum protocol.

No reason you shouldn't.

Other option is to email the MSE team with details. If it's really that good they may want to add to a guide somewhere.

I think it's fine if you aren't giving a link that will earn you money if people use it. No link is probably best if you are unsure how something will look!

I like YNAB for budgeting and a I've seen a lot of other people on these boards say they like it as well

Thanks for the tip. I had a quick look at the YNAB Web site and read their 4 rules. It does sound good but at £35 for the software I wondered if anyone could recommend any good FREE alternatives?

Whilst I'm sure it's a great piece of software it only works If you have the discipline and motivation to stick with it. Perhaps trying a free alternative would allow me to prove to myself if I'd do that before committing £35 to it?
