My laptop switched itself off this morning possibly terminally. I've used Microsoft Money for about 20 years, but without a laptop it's gone - what's best?
Personal finance, multiple current, saving and credit card accounts, numerous direct debits and standing orders, utility accounts, mortgage and possibly some other stuff - pretty standard, I think!
So what's fab out there at the moment? Any apps good enough and don't break the bank?
Thank you!

Are you just going to use a mobile phone then?
Just asking because answers PC based answers may not be of any use
MS Money is still around but guess it is PC onlyEight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0 -

What's with the laptop ?
Does it not come on atall ?
Do you get any lights , flashing or otherwise ?
Any beeps ?0 -
If you decide on a new laptop then MS money will work. It works with windows 10. You do have a back up of the data file don't you?0

Impossible to answer unless you tell us what device/OS you will be using instead of the laptop. I suspect the OP is going to say that they no longer have the install disk or licence key for MM-if not, eBay should provide the answer.No free lunch, and no free laptop0

Thanks - the orange light flashes the times but it doesn't turn on. It might just be the charger (ordered a replacement from eBay). It's an opportunity to change to something more modern for managing my finances, though. :-)Mortgage Free thanks to ill-health retirement0

I have an android phone, no tablet, so something that works with that.
I still have MM disks back to 93, I think.Mortgage Free thanks to ill-health retirement0 -
Yes, I have a back up of the data, but don't know if I'll be able to justify replacing the laptop of it is terminal.Mortgage Free thanks to ill-health retirement0

I have Excel and Google sheets on my phone but not with the straightforward double-entry functionality of MM. I used to use Excel before MM, 20 years ago!Mortgage Free thanks to ill-health retirement0

Orange flashing light usually indicates a failed battery
