Personal Finance Software

I am looking for some free financial software to download - needn't be fancy, just need to be able to set up at least 20 accounts within it.

Any ideas and/or links welcome!
Thanks

If its not up to your 20 accounts an older copy of Money would do it. I have used it for years (I didn't realise till now that I have 13 accounts listed, including the mortgage, and my purse)

Thanks for the link - I already have Money 2000 which is great...but we have a current account mortgage and I need to keep track of all the 'mini' accounts within it (eg if I don't keep an eye on what part is actually the mortgage and what part is for bills/holidays etc we shall end up on the streets!). Up to now I've been running and old version of quicken alongside Money with Money being our overall financial package and quicken being the breakdown of the current account mortgage IYSWIM.

I know you can have more than one Money user but only open one at a time, and I need to have them both open at once. I've tried using a spreadsheet but it's too cumbersome and doesn't really do what Quicken was doing before it decided to retire.

Thanks again!:beer:

I actually use a money pots excel that I found here for similar type of savings..... me me I put say, 250 a month into a ISA ,its all belongs to individual pots of tfor example 40 is leccy 40 Christmas 15 phone 50 savings etc etc

If my total in my ISA is 1140 .... I can see at a glance what the totals are. For a month that I am paying out I put in a -200 (holidays) and its quite happy.


BUT I have jsut realised that it only has 10 rows and 12 columns (one for each month ...but if its in excel you would be able to 'insert rows' easliy. Ichanged the rows to suit my moneypots. I hope this helps!

I had search here for it .... here is the link
