Does anyone know of any good software, for personal money management?

What I ideally want, is a peice of software, or even better an excel spreadsheet, that I can update, and keep a track of what's going out.

Does anyone know of anything they can recommend?

Quickbooks seems to be the standard.

£175 from Amazon.

Not cheap but you will lose much more than that if you opps your accounts up.

Excel is OK but I wouldn't trust it with real money.

Write your own.

Or create your cash flow spreadsheet putting your overheads in before they are due, showing you how much you need to earn by aby given time, then you know if you need to work harder.

Not looking so much for accounts - moreso just personal account management..

Quickbooks are ok but take some getting used to.

As long as you know what you owe and are oved, value of stock etc then easy and best done on a day to day basis so it soesnt get out of hand.  Double entry book keeping should be fine till you get going and find your feet.

Skruntie has the answer then... Excel or the Open Office equivalent.

Great for doing shopping lists to stop Vx dealers ripping you off as well.

We use Cashbook for the cosmetics business -- and the balloon business for several years before that.  Worth a peak -- cheap and cheerful, but it works!

I had thought I could make do with a simple spreadsheet but if you have to get it checked over it needs some good structure. I ended up getting MYOB (Mind Your Own Business) it can do a lot more than I use it for, but importantly it does everything I need and that I need to give the accountant.

That is all I did, a simple income and expenditure, shows a running total as my wages can vary slightly each month.

I have a personal one, money coming in, then listing all bills, DD, SO cheques and paypal linked from seperate sheets, when I get paid at the bank, just mark as paid, can work out what I should have ine the bank at any given time as long as I allow for my spending habbits.
