Hi all
I have been a wannabee saver for a while. Using excel as a tracker of money coming in, and going out.
I would add a row each transaction and have my DD's listed abd would move them when the money left my account.
That was fine when I had time. We now have two young kids, and zero time to get on the pc to do this.
I have a tablet that I use for swagbucks and surveys.

What do you all use to track your finances? Any apps that would keep me right with ad hoc and dd leaving my account?

MS Money - unsupported now but free download available
Ace Money - an MS Money clone, supported and costs ~ $30 to buy

Most of the serious money savers swear by MS Money

I'm not sure that colsten's answer is really applicable to you, as it seems like your issue is that you need a non-PC solution that you can use on a tablet (or possibly on a phone). I'm pretty sure Money won't be available in anything other than Windows, and I suspect the same is true of Ace. Because I'm a Money user myself I don't know what Apps there are that would do something similar, but I'd be surprised if you can find anything with as much functionality - although that may not be a problem for you if you simply want to be able to replicate what you do in your spreadsheet.

95%+ of my spending is non-cash and I use money dashboard to keep a track of money going in and out, categorize expenses, etc. Works very well to track expenses and I spend less than 10 minutes on it a week (primarily to 'tag' expenses so that it can tell what category it belongs to for next time).

However, it isn't for everyone as it requires you to hand over your login details and that might be against the T&Cs of your particular financial service provider.

Sorry, I overlooked the table bit, just saw Excel and thought an Excel-like solution like MS Money or Ace Money would suit. Ace Money has a Windows Mobile version, as well as Windows and Mac OS, not sure about Android. I have only used the PC version myself http://www.mechcad.net/products/
