Money-managing program

I've been looking for a good bit of money-managing software for home for a while now and I've come across the following:
gnucash - it's wonderful, free and full-featured! Shame it only runs on Linux when I run Windows most of the time. Not very practical for everyday use.
Microsoft Money - I have an old version of this lying around somewhere and I'm sure it's useful, but I don't fancy paying for something to use (cheapskate!)
Sage - I've seen my mum use this, but I think it's more business-oriented than I want for home.
Quicken - what my mum uses at home, but again, I'm a cheapskate and would like something free.
Anyone got any recommendations? I'm getting married and need to be a lot more responsible with my money...
Cheers

Anyone have an idea?0

Why not download the Budget Planner from the blue bar along the top of this board?0

Sorry, I wasn't quite clear - I don't live with my mum any more, so I can't just use it
And Budget Planner looks pretty nifty for an overview, but doesn't cover individual expenses and stuff. Still, nice tool to have to get an idea of how we're doing...0 -
Can't you just load the old version of Money? It'll probably do all you want it to - you just won't have the new "bells & whistles" that MS think you might wantWarning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac0

Yeah, I think I'll give Money a go. I always feel like I'm selling out if I commit my data to a Microsoft product... but maybe it'll be OK.

Oooh, a good list, am just downloading grisbi for Windows... http://sourceforge.net/projects/grisbi4win is the download link (I managed to find it despite the main site being in French and being a little unclear).
I'll let you know how I find it.0
