I’ve been wondering lately if my methods aren’t a bit flawed. I currently use a copy of Money Deluxe and Business 2003 to keep track of most of my financial accounts. Of course, with any software, there are things it just won’t do. Like track my loans properly. For some reason, it just never wants to calculate the interest properly. This makes it a little difficult to carefully map my networth or even keep a good eye on debt ratios.
What does everyone else out there use? I’m sure that Quicken and Money are popular choices, but do any of you use custom spreadsheets? Leave a note in the comments, let us all know!

I track my money by keeping half in my wallet and the other half in one Chocolate Fund Jar I put what I consider collectible bills like the new 10′s 20′s 50′s and any money that is still crispy and really old that way I don’t spend it because I consider it a collectible, two Old Navy Valentine’s Day piggy banks goes for coins, and the collectible coins in a jar.
http://moneydance.com is what I use.
Justine – LOL. Nice
I manage my money with a combination of Microsoft Money, a piggy bank, and my monthly bank statements. I need a better system.
I thought about trying Quicken, but the Quicken customer service was deplorable, so I’m back to Money.
If you do come up with another solution, or software options, please be sure to post them.
